Daryl Mendelson
With an undergraduate degree in Biology, a master’s degree in Health Science, past work as a County Health inspector, State Hazardous Waste Inspector, and a Database programmer, it is clear that Daryl is a Gemini! Daryl’s personality is made up of equal portions of humor, empathy and compassion. A natural place to funnel these traits was through performing in plays which he has done for over 60 years. Previously, Daryl co-wrote the delightful play, “The Jewtalian,” a story of friendship lasting over 50 years. With the completion of, “Things Are Looking Up,” Daryl is looking forward to penning more stories that have both humor and meaning. Daryl is also a proud member of SAG/AFTRA.

Things Are Looking Up
Blurb
Things Are Looking Up is a comedy meant to explore faith, doubt, and human connection through vibrant characters and humorous situations. The unlikely friendship between a Catholic priest, Father Matt O’Malley, and a Reform rabbi, Dean Silberstein, is meant to be playful, heartwarming, and thought-provoking and forms the heart of the play. Their budding friendship, marked by philosophical debates and playful jokes, serves as an example of how religious differences can foster deep understanding and empathy rather than division. In the end, Things Are Looking Up delivers a heartwarming message that love, kindness, and humor are the true guiding lights in life. Through its blend of comedy and introspection, the play encourages audiences to reflect on their own faith and relationships.
