My Mother’s Italian ...

Through Jan. 6, $30-$50, Bristol Riverside Theatre, 120 Radcliffe St., Bristol

We needn’t be Italian or Jewish to appreciate monologuist Steve Solomon, who brings the ...And I’m Home for the Holidays to his popular My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy to the Bristol Riverside Theatre. The former Long Island high school physics teacher-turned-DIY theater artist plays characters from both families as they converge for the forced-together holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah. Solomon applies his knack for dialects and accents to stories from his life that ring with universal truths about dysfunctional families — and who isn’t from one of those? 

Through Jan. 6, $30-$50, Bristol Riverside Theatre, 120 Radcliffe St., Bristol, 215-785-0100, brtstage.org
