Fresh off his award-winning performance for “Best Storytelling” at the United Solo Festival in NYC, Steve Greenstein is excited to bring his show Voices from the Holy and Not so Holy Land uptown to the Triad Theater. His thought-provoking, heartfelt performance piece focuses on the humanity in each of his nine characters, avoiding the pitfalls of a political statement.
Voices from the Holy and Not So Holy Land is a show that speaks to the human truths behind the Mideast situation. “Voices from the Holy and Not so Holy Land” has humor and poignancy as Greenstein simply allows his characters to speak and loves each character he plays. It is why each one feels and sounds so credible and is so nonjudgmentally observed.
Drawing from direct experience living in Israel for 5 years in the late 90’s, Greenstein wrote this play, basing some characters on people he’d met and the friendships and tensions between Israelis and Arabs. It was first performed at various theaters in L.A. including the Mark Taper Auditorium. Greenstein has been an actor for four decades, appearing in over 35 TV shows and films, including “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Pose,” “Blue Bloods” and many more. He is a respected stage performer in NY and LA, with the worldwide tour of “West Side Story” to his credit. The web series, “Covid Ditty,” written, directed and starring Greenstein, played in film festivals all over the world and won awards for best web series.
“Fascinating” – L.A. Times
“Unlike the vast majority of solo performance pieces, Greenstein’s subject isn’t self-centered, but global and cultural. His collage drama of bad blood between Arab and Jew, and Jew and Jew, could play in Juneau or Jakarta.” – L.A. Times
“Greenstein is the Anna Deavere Smith of Israeli / Palestinian lives.” – Backstage West
