Thanksgiving has become demanding on the Solan family.

Not only is there the traditional holiday to prepare for, but there’s also a Bar Mitzvah for young Arnie coming up.

With all this on the mind of his overbearing Grandmother Edith, Arnie will somehow have to endure a tortuous 3 piece suit, court his first crush, and help his older brother avoid the wrath of Grandma when a precious high school graduation ring goes missing in a very unusual way.

This coming of age story depicts the love, conflict and craziness of a caring Jewish family, living in Fair Lawn, New Jersey in 1985.

Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.


Arnie and the Itch is included in our 8-pack and 5-pack Mainstage Season Ticket.

Business Sponsorships and Family/Individual Sponsorships are available for this production.
