We’re happy to help spread the word about a powerful new work from a friend of The PIT.

Actor and playwright Samuel A. Simon previously worked with The PIT’s Ali Farahnakian while developing and presenting his autobiographical solo show The Actual Dance.

After being diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s in 2022, Samuel turned once again to the stage.

His award-winning solo show, Dementia Man: An Existential Journey, explores his diagnosis and offers an intimate look at the personal, familial, and medical realities of living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Since debuting in 2023, the show has toured for nearly 150 performances. Now it’s coming to NYC as part of the United Solo Festival.

🎭 Dementia Man: An Existential Journey
📅 October 22 at 7 PM
📍 Theater Row — 410 W. 42nd Street, NYC

🎟️ Tickets: https://bit.ly/DMUnited

Use promo code SOLOFRIEND for 50% off while the offer remains available.

We’re glad to see Samuel continuing to tell his story, and we’re happy to welcome him back to a New York stage.

"We bonded through lots of laughter and throwing ourselves into it!"
– Spacesmith LLP

Sometimes the best way to bring a team closer is to give everyone permission to jump in.

Improv creates a space where coworkers can step outside their usual roles, take a few low-stakes risks, support each other's ideas—and laugh. A lot.

No experience necessary. No pressure to be the funniest person in the room. Just a willingness to participate and see what happens.

The result? A shared experience that can turn a group of coworkers into a more connected team.

Throw yourselves into it. We’ll take care of the rest.
