My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy at The Colony Theatre

My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy is the story of Brad Zimmerman's struggle to fulfill his dream and make it as a comedic actor in New York. One-part standup, one-part theatrical, and all parts uproarious, My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy has garnered rave reviews wherever it has played, including sold-out runs off-Broadway, in Philadelphia; Boston; Atlanta; Toronto; Huntington Beach and Thousand Oaks, CA; Palm Beach, Florida; Skokie, Illinois; The Gordon Center for the Performing Arts in Maryland; the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey; and at dozens of other venues throughout the USA. Every mother dreams her children will grow up to be happy, healthy, and successful. Every Jewish mother secretly – and often not so secretly – adds specifics to her wish: a doctor, a lawyer, a dentist … or these days, a Silicon Valley tycoon – would make her very happy. Brad Zimmerman's mother has finally adapted to her ‘actor-waiter' son's career choice and financial situation. "If all goes well, I think Brad is going to buy a bookcase," she boasts to her friends.
