ONE-MAN SHOW Starring Mar Jennings To Play Sacred Heart University Community Theatre

Multi-hyphenate Mar Jennings will present ONE-MAN SHOW”, a powerful and deeply personal production debuting May 22, 2026, at Sacred Heart University Community Theatre.

“This chapter is about truth, legacy, and using my story for something bigger than myself,” says Jennings of his commitment to donating 100% of the proceeds to The Center for Family Justice, supporting survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and trauma. “When I realized this show could raise real money for charity, it gave the project a deeper purpose. I'm ready to share my story now in a way I simply wasn't able to before.”

Years in the making, the production blends storytelling, humor, and raw honesty, as Jennings explores his childhood, his relationship with his parents, the abuse he endured, and the people who helped shape and save him along the way. He shares his journey from competitive figure skater, including earning a Gold Medal in the 2018 Senior Gold Men's category, to his time in the finance industry, and ultimately, the path that led him to pursue his true passions in home design, real estate, lifestyle, media, and philanthropy. At its core, the performance is a story of resilience, reinvention, and hope, offering audiences an intimate, unfiltered look at overcoming life's most difficult moments.

“The hardest part is choosing what to reveal and what to hold sacred,” Jennings shares. “But if my story helps someone feel less alone, then every moment of discomfort is worth it.”

"Mar's decision to speak publicly about his journey marks an important moment, and we are grateful for his trust,” says Mark Antonini, President & CEO of The Center for Family Justice. “His voice will resonate with so many, and we are fully committed to supporting him and ensuring the success of this meaningful even

“I'm ready to tell the whole story—the real one,” says Jennings. “If my journey can become a spark for someone else… if my pain can be transformed into power for others… then it all means something.”
