Grace Peña to Present UNDER THE INFLUENCE at Laurie Beechman Theatre
Lennie Watts directs the MAC Award-nominated performer in a show exploring cross-generational musical influences.
Following her MAC Award-nominated solo cabaret debut, Grace Peña will bring her new show Under the Influence to Laurie Beechman Theatre, on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:00 PM. Whether jazz, blues, R&B, or Broadway, each song was born from songwriters who bravely pushed the boundaries of their predecessors.
What inspired them to take the chance? Peña answers that question in a heartfelt and exciting musical journey. With music director Analise Levesque on piano, Peña delivers a night of laughs, love, and a reminder that taking a leap of faith is always worth the risk. Directed by Lennie Watts.
Grace Peña is a 2026 MAC Award-nominee for her solo cabaret debut Heartstrings!, performed in Fall 2025 at 54 Below, Don't Tell Mama, and The Green Room 42. Grace is a graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia, where she earned her Master's degree in CCM Voice Pedagogy.
