My Lawyer is an Angel
Chasing the ambulance chasers off the road!
Chasing the ambulance chasers off the road!
It’s the world premiere of acclaimed playwright Jerry Mayer’s serious comedy that celebrates Girl Power, embraces family, and showcases how terribly things can go awry when we place the bottom line at the top of the list. "Angel" fulfills Mayer's life-long crusade against abuse, be it spousal or legal, and introduces the angel of an attorney (yes, there is such a thing) who’s on a mission to chase them down.
The internationally acclaimed team that brought you Jews R2 Much Fun, Almost Perfect, Aspirin & ELEPHANTS, You Haven’t Changed a Bit and Other Lies and more, reunites renowned playwright Jerry Mayer with veteran (and frequent Mayer) director Chris DeCarlo. Original music is by Steve Mayer. The stellar cast features DeCarlo (Author! Author!, Mistakes Were Made), Summer Moran (Off-Broadway: Ebb&Flow, Breaking the Internet LIVE!), Natasha Renae Potts (The Impact of Dildos on a Funeral, Romeo and Juliet, Branwell and the other Brontes) and Brian Tyson (Misery, Henry VI, Hand of God).
94-year-old playwright Jerry Mayer, who has written for M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Facts of Life (where he was executive producer) and five of Mitzi Gaynor’s TV Specials, never shies away from tackling the big issues and MY LAWYER IS AN ANGEL is no exception.

Chris DeCarlo, Playhouse Co-Artistic Director, has helmed 12 of Mayer’s world premiere comedies. Says DeCarlo, "Experiencing a Jerry Mayer play brings us that much closer to the realization that turning the frown upside down is the best way to navigate through life’s most serious issues, big or small."
"Chris DeCarlo is a masterful director!" - Theatre Scene
