DIETRICH
April 4th & 5th at 8pm
Written by Willard Manus and starring Cindy Marinangel, Dietrich is a based on a true story. Set in May 1960, the play takes place when the actress returned to the Berlin stage for the first time since fleeing the Hitler regime in the 1930’s. Inside her dressing room at the Tatiana Palast Theater, Dietrich weighs whether to go through with the live performance despite threats on her life by Nazi sympathizers (who resented her for having spent much of World War II entertaining American soldiers on the front lines). To them, Dietrich is a turncoat; a traitor who deserves tobe shot and killed on stage. Dietrich (formerly known as “Marlene”)celebrated its world premiere at the Brickhouse Theatre in Los Angeles (Produced by John Lant- Carnegie Hall), debuted in New York at theHudson Guild Theatre (Winterfest), and was selected as a finalist for the NY New Works Theatre Festival at the Acorn Theatre. This play-with-music next enjoyed successful limitedengagements at The Triad Theatre, a celebrated Off-Broadway house.

GREGG GLAVIANO Presents
MAMA'S BOY
May 9th & 10th at 7 pm
This cabaret tells my story of growing up with a parent who suffered from chronic depression and how music and performance became the lifeline that helped me navigate feelings of neglect and discover my own voice. As the child of a parent struggling with mental health challenges, I felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility. I wanted to fix her, to make her happy. Alongside that desire came a deep sense of shame. My family didn’t look like the families of my friends, and I worked hard to hide that difference from the world. That need to hide and the yearning to please spilled over into every aspect of my life. From the awkward moments of childhood to the fears of embracing my true self as a young adult, I carried those struggles like a hidden weight. Music changed everything. Through the guidance of gifted teachers and the challenges of performing, I began to confront my fears and grow into the person I am today. Music gave me permission to feel, to express, and ultimately, to heal. This cabaret is a journey through my life—the good choices, the missteps, and everything in between—brought to life through storytelling and song. It’s my hope that by sharing my story, I can reach others who feel unseen, remind them of the power we each have to overcome what holds us back, and highlight the profound ability of music to unite and heal.
