The
national tour of the hilarious new show You
Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up! will have its Arizona premiere at
The Herberger Theater Center.
After
17 years of marriage, writers-actors-and real-life-married-couple Annabelle
Gurwitch (Dinner and a Movie, Fired!) and Emmy Award winner Jeff Kahn (The
Ben Stiller Show, The 40-Year-Old
Virgin) have adapted their hilarious, often moving, memoir, You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up!, for the
stage. Directed by Van Kaplan, the show
stars Robin Abramson and Gregory Johnstone who have been hailed for their roles
in this play.
This
80-minute tour de force takes a humorous look at a relationship that seems
challenged from the start by powerful, opposing personalities. After trials and tribulations, they learn to
navigate the conflicts that come with romance, money and children by embracing
each other’s differences, taking on parenting as a competitive sport and
dropping out of couple’s therapy. Their delightfully crazy lifestyle has
managed to keep their relationship intact, up-ending every idea you ever had
about living “happily ever after.”
You Say Tomato, I Say Shut
Up!, is touring the country with
stops in Boston, Phoenix, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
The book was developed through sold-out performances at The Comedy Central
Theatre and at Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles, and made its New York
premiere at The New York Comedy Festival in 2009.
Tickets
for You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up!, are $43-$53 and can be purchased at www.playhouseinfo.com or at the Herberger Theater Center, (602) 254-7399
or www.herbergertheater.org.
