“It’s always a shame when a great show has such a limited run, as is the case with SOMETIMES OVER THE SUMMER, comedian, Andrea Mezvinsky's hilarious and touching one woman play. If you missed it, you can only hope it as a revival. The immediate impression is that Mezvinsky is a kindred spirit of Fear of Flying's Isadora. Erica Jong's alter-ego is a doppelganger for Mezvinsky, and their most salient common flaw is the desire to say yes to all of life choices they are presented with. With an impressively spare stage , Mezvinsky brilliantly manages to illustrate her self-loathing Jewish mother as well as her spry (but dead) grandmother as the two identities of her conscience. She also plays effortlessly against an invisible husband, lover, father, and child. Accompanied by a great soundtrack, Mezvinsky takes the audience on a timeline tour of her life while incorporating the perils of being an intelligent woman who wants to abide by The Rules, live the fantasy of Cinderella, have choices and be able to choose them all.
Mezvinsky's honesty lends itself to great comedy. Her performance is so identifiable and thought-provoking that many times the audience was too enraptured to laugh.”

SOMETIMES OVER THE SUMMER…
Andrea Kolb portrays three generations of women (including her mother, grandmother and several versions of herself) in her semi-autobiographical solo comedy "Sometimes Over the Summer…" A satirical and emotionally graphic coming of
age tale about a bright and attractive native New Yorker hurtling (mostly unprepared and against her will) into motherhood, "Sometimes Over the Summer…" traces Kolb's own marital difficulties by taking us on a panoramic journey through
the 70's of her adolescence to the present. The play's frank evocation of a liberal-Jewish Upper West Side upbringing and Kolb's musings about the effects of a youth deferred due to her parents' dabbling with the new prerogatives of the Me Generation, are at times hilarious and heartbreaking.
"Sometimes Over the Summer…" grew out of Kolb's stand-up comedy, much of which dwells on the competing challenges of motherhood and wifehood in a city where responsibility is to be avoided and self-indulgence is often elevated to an
art form. Directed by Kathleen Brant, the play has been developing at the 78th Street TheatreLab, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, where it premiered in February 2003.
"Kolb jumps effortlessly from character to character, decade to decade, and one scene to the next. Quick and easy, skillfully directed." Nytheatre.com
