ON 174th STREET (The World of Willie Mittleman) presents the hilarious and always heart-warming experiences of an American family in the years of the Great Depression. Contrary to popular belief, everyone did not fall apart during the catastrophic 1930s. Life went on. Most families clung together and, in their love and closeness, met each day's challenges with imagination, humor and guts. Up in the Bronx, in New York City, little Willie and the Mittleman clan possessed these traits in abundance. Yes, they struggled and worried: How could they keep food on the table, and a roof over their heads? Where should they look for work when, for them and 22,000,000 other Americans, there was no work to be found? Uncertainty filled every day and night. Nevertheless, they found reasons to laugh, and they tried to enjoy every moment of life. They joked, they celebrated, they sang, they danced... and they survived ON 174th STREET (The World of Willie Mittleman) is a slice of Americana that will have you laughing all the way and admiring the amazing strength of the American spirit.

MEL WEISER's love of writing began when he was nineteen years old and in the US Navy. He came upon a book in the aircraft carrier's library that changed his life. It made him see the possibility of a meaningful and rewarding future in writing. He wasn't wrong. He has written novels and plays and has enjoyed a measure of sweet success in both arenas. Mel has also been a college instructor, a stage director and an acting coach of stars. He is a native New Yorker, who raced for the West Coast sun after being caught in a ferocious, East Coast blizzard. However, his heart still vibrates to the exciting rhythms of the city every time he returns for a visit. Mel enjoys jazz, sketching, travel, the excellence of champions and the astounding grace of professional dancers. But, above all, he believes that both his wife and life are absolutely beautiful!!!
