That’s Where the Nail Was
At 52, former stand-up comedian, and TV sitcom writer/producer veteran, Tom Hertz had it all; a long marriage, great kids, a big house in a fancy neighborhood, a lot of money, and his health. He created Rules of Engagement, a sitcom that quietly ran for 100 episodes from 2007-2014. He accomplished all this despite, or maybe because; he grew up with a bi-polar mother, who he spent his childhood trying to cheer up. Then, at 52, an eight-year series of truly awful things started to happen in his life. To use recent Oscar winning terminology, he had to fight one battle after another. And when it was all over, he had lost almost all the great things he had. He sank to the lowest point, thinking the worst thoughts a person can think, and then; two words turned everything around, and led him to realize that even though he had lost so much, he now had something that was even more valuable. AUDIENCE REVIEWS – “Amazing! Laughing, crying, and most places in between!”…“Funny, honest, entertaining, uplifting, and also fucking funny.”… “Hilarious and moving, just great!”… “Tom Hertz’s story is uplifting, tragic, heartfelt, moving, and above all, damn funny.”… “Touched the hearts of everyone in the audience.”

The play weaves together the writers journey to define black womanhood with the difficult historical realities of 1968. The audience is transported to both segregated south where they meet Mary Joyce, a law graduate stuck as a receptionist and Dorothy, an aspiring actress. They both depend on each other for survival but when they receive career defining opportunities their sudden path to success begins to strain their sisterhood. This dual narrative is a moving exploration of how the past and present echo each other and how leaning on our community is the most profound success.
