Pain in My Asperger’s –Jeremy Ebenstein’s inspiring solo musical story of overcoming obstacles enroute to success – one show only

“GOLD MEDAL! Ebenstein’s show is as entertaining as he is engaging!” the TVolution

Der Schauspieler und Musiker Jeremy Ebenstein gibt mit seinen Geschichten und Liedern einen Einblick in die humorvolle, inspirierende und oft herzzerreißende Geschichte eines Lebens mit dem Asperger-Syndrom. Mit acht eigenen Liedern und Kompositionen schildert Ebenstein seine Reise von der Kindheit bis zum Erwachsenenalter und spricht dabei universelle Themen wie Mobbing in der Kindheit, hoffnungsvolle Romanzen und die Überwindung von Depressionen an. Er bietet seine einzigartige Sicht auf die Kämpfe des täglichen Lebens, von Beziehungen bis hin zur Fähigkeit, die einfachsten Jobs zu behalten, und strebt dennoch immer nach seinen Träumen, akzeptiert zu werden und ein erfolgreiches Leben zu führen.

Pain In My Asperger’s is a story of optimism and love, not only for those suffering from Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of autism) who need to overcome the additional challenges that Asperger’s presents, but for all who have ever hoped and dreamed of making something of themselves.

Jeremy started playing piano at age 29. Music, a skill unaffected by his condition, inspired him to tell his story about the trials and tribulations of living with Asperger’s Syndrome, a developmental disorder affecting the ability to effectively socialize, learn, and communicate. The piece was developed with Jack Fry (Einstein!, They Call Me Mister Fry), in the Jack Fry Solo Workshops, in collaboration with Debra Ehrhardt (Jamaica Farewell, Cocktales) as a creative consultant.

The Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series is an innovative program that presents extremely limited engagements of new and developing works by emerging and renowned local, national, and international artists. Selected artists receive technical and artistic support, rehearsal space, and the opportunity to present a fully-mounted production, with proceeds supporting the Playhouse Annual Fund, International Cultural Exchange and Diversity-in-Education programs, Artistic Mentoring, Jewish Heritage Series, and Senior OutReach.

Santa Monica Playhouse is supported in part by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, the Ahmanson Foundation, the Santa Monica Rotary Club Foundation, and Playhouse PALS.
