Good as Gold
- covering about 60 out of the 42 million minutes in the long life of
his character, Mr. Steven Gold.
From the 13-year-old Henny Youngman
wanna-be on a train in Cinnamon Apple Pie,
to the clueless Bronx home-instruction teacher in
The Monk of Morris Avenue, to the
80-year-old curmudgeon sharing a hospital room in
Senior Moment, you'll laugh a lot, maybe cry a little, and
by three-fifteen, you'll feel good as gold.
Writer, Bob Zaslow, has
written six published plays for children as well as the one-act plays,
“A Woman Scorned” and “Selling Genesis.” He has written a Shakespearean
comedy of sorts, “Hamlet and Eggs” and is currently working on the
musical comedy, “Candlesticks.”
