Oh My God Don't Stop
Reviewed by Wayne Filowitz

You might remember performers like Henny Youngman, Jackie Mason, or even  newer face, Sarah Silverman.  Well step aside folks because here comes singer/ songwriter/comedienne Amy Steinberg with her new one woman show, Oh My God Don't Stop.  This show will keep you laughing from its opening line to long beyond the time you exit the theater. 

Oh My God Don't Stop is a one woman show which contains two of our favorite topics, religion and sex; and judging from the audiences reaction I would not necessarily say that it would be in that order.   Amy explores these issues in the guise of several characters, thrusting herself deeply into each role, always in tune with who she is at that moment, delivering a satisfying performance which culminated in a standing O(vation).

With characters including a confused teenager, a Jewish grandmother who has discovered that sex doesn't end at 60, a southern rock and roll preacher who has…issues, and the all mighty, this extremely talented performer rips off the mask of polite society to give us all a peek at what lay beneath the carefully cultivated exterior.  Oh, you want to know what's hidden?  Go see the show, you'll be entertained…and enlightened too!

Amy has an amazing talent when it comes to slipping between characters.  There are times in the show when the transformation takes place onstage right before our eyes, and a complete transformation it is.  We believe she is the new character despite witnessing her in another guise mere seconds before and achieved with a minimal costume change.  In spite of the diverse personalities of the characters Ms. Steinberg maintains a risqué element while eliciting laughter, sometimes even outright guffaws, from her audience.

Amy Steinberg's show is currently playing at the Cuillo Center for the Arts on Clematis Street.  Go ahead, let your inner hussy/gigolo out to experience life through Ms. Steinberg's eyes; you're in for a unique, enjoyable evening.  Who knows, you may just come away looking at some aspects of life through different colored glasses.  I know the show opened my own already quite liberal eyes to scenic vistas not previously perceived…it could happen to you. 


Editors Note:  Amy is an irregular on Wednesday nights on WRPBradio's "Anything Bucket".  The Anything Bucket, hosted by Wayne Filowitz and Al Rock can be heard Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:00 pm EST on www.WRPBradio.com .   (Everyone appearing on Wednesday evenings "Anything Bucket" is slightly irregular, but that only make them all the more loveable.)

Would you believe that some old folks got up and WALKED OUT of my show today!!!! They said to the box office "You should be ashamed" and "It was disgraceful."

They left after I sang "Turn Gay."

I cried backstage after the show because I can't believe how people can be so close minded. In a way it's flattering because when you offend people it means you are pushing buttons! What is art for if not that?!?!?!

So I have to tell you that it was the 10th time we did the show and ALL the previous audiences gave me standing ovations! They have been mostly sell outs! And the theater loves the show so much they have EXTENDED it!!!!

If you haven't come out to see the show yet, please do! And tell 10 friends, so we can keep extending! Halloween night is sure to be a great show because we are RECORDING it. I need laughers!!!! :)

I am so grateful to have such fun, accepting, loving, joyful fans and friends...so THANK YOU for supporting my art!

All my love,
Amy

Wow....what a GREAT opening night at the Cuillo Centre tonight!!!!

It was a sell out! I was totally blown away!

Keith Berger is playing the music for the show and he did a GREAT job. We had SO much fun it should be illegal. 

The response was incredible. One woman said she nearly peed her pants!

I often wonder whether or not this show is blasphemous. But I have prayed about this, thought about it, talked about it with close friends and I think it's just the opposite! I think God gave me this message to preach through comedy and I hope that you will come and enjoy my ministry.

Praise be!

Now touch yourself.

Hello dear friends and fans...

Hope life is full of magic today for you. I am getting all geared up for the opening of my one woman show, "Oh My God Don't Stop" at the Cuillo Centre for the Arts in downtown West Palm Beach, opening this weekend.

I have had the pleasure of performing this show several times, twice in Orlando, once in Tampa, and once in West Palm Beach. It was a hit! So the Cuillo believed in it enough to bring it back for development. So it has grown a bit, and we are going to see where it heads.

Please forward this info to anyone you know in South Florida with a sense of humor!  This show is about sexuality and spirituality - I play many characters - a Jewish grandmother and grandfather, a preacher and his wife, and God herself.  It's a fun fun show with a lot of laughs.  I also hope it makes ya think.

Opening this Friday! Here are the dates. Tickets are 20$ and can be purchased by calling the Cuillo Centre Box Office - 561 835-9226.  Come out and tell your friends!

  • Opens Fri Oct 17, 8pm
  • Sat Oct 18, 2 and 8pm
  • Sun Oct 19, 2 and 7pm
  • Thu Oct 23, 7pm
  • Fri Oct 24, 8pm
  • Sat Oct 25, 2 and 8pm
  • Sun Oct 26, 2pm
Thank you for your continued support! I have been making and selling a lot of art too, so be sure to keep checking my art album in the photo section for new work. 

It's great to be back in Florida, although it's taking a moment of adjusting! The mountain weather spoiled me! This afternoon we are having a nice rain shower, which reminds me a lot of my childhood for some reason. 

Looking forward to seeing you all soon! Be well and get freaky.

Love
Amy

I am SO excited about coming to Florida. Feels a whole lot like I'm going home, which is nice for a cancerian like myself.

Thank you North Carolina for all the love.

OH New York City, my crush on you is still enormous.

Driving into the city a few days ago, I blushed at her. She really knocks me out.

Last night, on 9/11, I did a show in a darling little space near Union Square above ABC Home. It was a magical show on a heavy night.  When I mentioned the tragic day, the room got awkward, as it should have, but it was a smooth and delightful night.

What I noticed about the city on this day was that it is SO alive! New York, oh New York. I lived in her for four years, and I believe that if you brave the city for a year you are a New Yorker for life. She is SUCH a bitch...I got a parking ticket yesterday, of course, and lord knows how much money I've spent in just a few days... but she is a LOVE i tell you.

The people on the street were full of purpose and life and there was a buzz that only NY can offer. After the show we ate a delicious meal, and Val Kilmer happened to be there. My buddy Bobby decided he should have my cd....hahha...it was funny.

9/11 is a difficult thing to discuss because of all the 'inside job' theories, and our fucked up government right now, but what I guess I wanted to say was that New York is still that special one of a kind city that makes me feel more (good and bad) than anywhere else on the planet.

Coming back next week and hope to catch a Broadway show... think I might go see Patti LuPone in Gypsy. I think I hear my car alarm sounding outside.

Off to Ohio,
Amy

I am bursting with artistic flow.  My visual art has been coming out of me quite easily and I'm enjoying the solitude of it all.

I put up a new album on my myspace site entitled ART and I wrote a few bulletins about it, so you have already probably checked it out, but I thought I'd journal about it too... It's been amazing! So many people have purchased pieces, which just encourages me to keep making it.

I'm about to move, so I'm selling most of the stuff I've made. Usually it's hanging all around my apartment, but I thought I'd go ahead and do a clearing so that I can start fresh again.

I have also been asked to do specific pieces and I'm thrilled about that. If you like stuff that's already sold and want to comission a piece, i'd love to do it.

Other than that, I'm preparing for a move, and working through my script for "Oh My God Don't Stop" as well as preparing for this little tour starting Wednesday.  I'm hitting New York City, Northampton, Cleveland, Dayton, DC, Asheville, and then back down for Charlotte and Johnson City.  So it's a crazy time, but as usual, I'm keeping it together.

Actually the past three days it's been rainy in the mountains, so I've been in laze around mode..watching the DNC and clapping all alone in my living room. Hillary made me cry and scream.  I love that Obama! I hope he takes it, and this scary creationist Alaskan chick won't trick anyone. 

Gotta admit, it's a move that comes from desperation.

Anyway... I'm glad Dee won on Shear Genius, and I'm watching Project Runway faithfully. I always hope that I can keep up with it when I'm on the road.

So, enough out of me... hope you are all well and hope to see you soon.

Yours,
Amy

It has been an INTENSE couple of weeks energetically.

Coming back to the mountains from tour has been such a complicated process because, as most of you know, I moved here for love and that love is no longer. So, I have been working through whether or not I am supposed to stay up here in these glorious hills.

The answer my spirit has given me is no...it's time to move forward. I will be heading back to Florida in the fall to perform my one woman show in West Palm and I hope to find an apartment on the beach while I figure out where I am going next!

One exciting thing I am working on is a musical with a dear friend of mine who is out in Oregon, so who knows! Perhaps I am heading west after the winter... I have always known I would wind up there at some point.

Now onto the topic of the blog... I am at a very special place right now and I have been here many times before. Basically, I am in a space of complete surrender, with TOTAL faith that my G-d/dess knows what is best for me and is guiding my life. The people who come in and the people who go out are perfectly timed. The places I go, the events that take place, it is alllllllllllllllllllll Divine ORDER!

This is not a place I am in all the time, but I am here NOW and that is all that matters. I am resting in the joy and knowledge that there are angels out there helping me! I am reading "Hiring the Heavens" which I highly recommend.

I had SUCH an incredible tour this past trip around the country and I want to take this moment to thank ALL OF YOU for coming out and supporting me and my art. I discovered so much this trip, and I could not do it without you listening, singing along, laughing, and celebrating with me. This journey is a complex one, but it is MARVELOUS, huh!?!??!

Alright...side note: I'm addicted to So you Think you can dance, Pwoject Wunway and Shear Genius? Anyone else??? Wednesdays is my TCBY sundae and I and my tube.

So much hope,
Amy

My world is starting to open up so beautifully. Sometimes I feel like I am dreaming. This tour has been pure magic. I have had such an exciting journey and I can honestly say that I am starting to get a bit sad about it coming to a close...even though I really still have a month on the road!

When I start to head back east I can feel the beginning of the end and it is a bizarre sad satisfaction. I have worked so hard to book, plan, play and enjoy these travels and when it is over the obvious question is...

What's NEXT! hahah....

Well there are a ton of things on the horizon:

1. Momentum in San Francisco - details being hammered out, but this is an extraordinary opportunity for me to play for some amazing folks

2. Live and Learn Convention. I love UNSCHOOLERS!

3. Earthdance Northern California. Pinch Me.

4. Oh My God Don't Stop again in West Palm! Can't WAIT!

But all this is happening in months... I still haven't been to AUSTIN, BEAUMONT, NEW ORLEANS, FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIDA!!

Then I head back to the mountains....

The serene peaceful mountains where I can REST.

I had a thought yesterday, after I wrote this beautiful new song, that I am going to prep for recording a new record this winter - I know, it's thrilling. Meanwhile I'm still getting so much love and great feedback from "Fall Down To Fly" which has been an absolute pleasure to tour in support of. Thanks again to the incredible folks who helped that be birthed.

So much to say I could type for hours, but instead I'm going to watch some tube and crash out. Please open your mind to the possibility that all of your dreams can come true, plus things you never even thought possible.

You deserve it.

And so do I.

I'm finally starting to realize that.

I am learning to love myself completely and that is what is bringing the blessings forth. I invite you to open your mind to the fact that you are exactly perfect in this moment. You don't need to be richer, thinner, smarter. You are wonderful. Just a thought.

Perfectly me,

Amy
