Ben Rimalower Extends Bad With Money and Patti Issues at the Duplex

Ben Rimalower's two solo shows, Bad With Money and Patti Issues, have extended their repertory runs at The Duplex through June 21. Both plays are written and performed by Rimalower and directed by Aaron Mark. The pieces are performed on alternating Wednesday nights at 7pm through April 29 and then various days and times through June 21.

Rimalower's debut play, Patti Issues, which first opened in 2012, explores his obsession with Broadway diva Patti LuPone and his relationship with his troubled gay father. Bad With Money follows his battle with spending beyond his means — a journey that takes him through drug addiction, prostitution, fraud, and multiple betrayals.

"People tend to be familiar now with alcohol and drug addiction — and I've got those too," says Rimalower. "But spending money I don't have is really my drug of choice. And considering how many people suffer from the same problem, it's staggering how seldom it's discussed."
