Peter J. Fogel, the actor and standup comedian is coming to town to perform Steve Solomon’s “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish, I’m Home for Holidays!”, a role he’s enacted, in one form or another, from South Florida to Trinity Rep in Providence. The one-man show will run from December 8 through the 19th at the Arlington Regent Theater. Theater Mirror spoke to Peter from his home in Florida.
Theater Mirror: Tell us a little bit about the show.
Peter: The character I play is on his way home for the holidays and ends up stuck at Atlanta-Hatfield Airport, with relatives complaining and freaking out over the telephone. I play 25 different characters in about two hours. I think it’s a show that a lot of people can relate to. Generational boomers love it because they have to take care of their elderly parents. The play takes family dysfunction and makes people laugh about it.
