Bad with Money Tickets

The Go-for-Broke New Play from the Creator of PATTI ISSUES. Ben Rimalower’s addiction to spending beyond his means has driven him to extreme lengths all his life. In BAD WITH MONEY he charts his sometimes hilarious, sometimes harrowing struggle to overcome his problem—or get rich trying. Written and performed by Rimalower and directed by Aaron Mark, BAD WITH MONEY delves into deep personal territory with the story of Rimalower’s struggle with debt—a journey that takes him through drug addiction, prostitution, fraud and multiple betrayals. In this gripping play-by-play of some his biggest mistakes and their consequences, the writer-performer offers a no-holds-barred self-portrait of an addict, and casts light on one of the last societal taboos. “People tend to be familiar now with alcohol and drug addiction—and I’ve got those too,” Rimalower says. “But spending money I don’t have is really my drug of choice. Considering how many people suffer from this, it’s staggering how seldom it’s discussed.”
