Mitch Feinstein is preparing to debut his solo play on Sunday, November 9—and “100% of your ticket purchase goes directly toward Theatre Palisades’ rebuild efforts.”
“‘79 and a Half’ tells the story of what happens to a hard-driving, compulsive, high-power attorney when he retires and must suddenly figure out what to do with the rest of his life,” read a synopsis. “The play chronicles his one-month journey as he faces a possible life-ending diagnosis. Told with true wit, humor and a resilient spirit, this is a powerful story about the lessons learned in life: acceptance and gratitude. It’s a journey that inspires others to embrace the cycle of life.”
Feinstein is an actor and “dedicated” Theatre Palisades board member. The theater lost its space, Pierson Playhouse, in the Palisades fire.
The show, written and performed by Feinstein, will take place at 2 p.m. at Zephyr Theatre (7456 Melrose Avenue). Tickets are available for $30.
“I hope you can come watch my play and share this experience with me,” Feinstein wrote of the show. “Follow my journey into retirement, where humor and heartbreak meet as I discover life’s most important lessons.”
