One might remember Esther Friedman from the famous "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas" national campaign, "The television spot is highly suggestive - a group of women in a limousine giggling over some unspoken exploit" NEW YORK TIMES. “But you don’t need a long speech to master the moment… Her wordless transformation from being affronted to conceding the humor with the glimmer of a smile is masterful.” Best Actress - AD AGE. Recently co-staring with Eddie Murphy in the movie “Norbit”
Now Miss Friedman brings to us her one woman show “Reflections and Shadows”. Miss Friedman’s piece is a revelation about growing up in New York City with a laconic Jewish Dad, and a wise cracking African American mother. Each element of the story fits seamlessly, giving new insight into one’s own childhood and a gritty insight of what it really means to grow up bi-racial in America.
Esther Friedman has accomplished a lovely thing: Through her writing and performance she makes the universal specific. She takes us on a journey of transformation. She makes us laugh and cry with the details of her life.
