ITALIAN BRED to Close Off-Broadway on July 2; L.A. Production to Open this Fall!

By:

ITALIAN BRED will play its final performance 7:00 p.m. on July 2nd at the Theatre at St. Luke's in preparation for a run in Los Angeles in the Fall. The performance will benefit ALL STAR PROJECT...a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance-based model. The ASP creates outside of school, educational and performing arts activities for thousands of poor and minority young people. It sponsors community and experimental theatre, develops leadership training and pursues volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities.

With this 80 minute show, Candice slips in and out of characters as she cooks up a full meal of growing up Italian on Staten Island. Having written down everything her loving and outspoken grandmother ever uttered, she combines this unfiltered wisdom, along with her family's VERY Italian and definitive personalities and a generous helping of her own experiences. This hilarious and heartwarming show includes stories and memories from her childhood...with a liberal dash of live music and includes an appearance by a different Guest Star each performance.

Candice GuardinO is the grand niece of film and tv star Harry Guardino, who was Tony nominated for One More River and starred opposite Lauren Bacall in the Tony winning Woman Of The Year. ITALIAN BRED will also include a live three-piece band under the musical supervision of David Dabbon (Broadway-Sondheim On Sondheim (Grammy Nominee), Audra McDonald at Carnegie Hall) and direction by Donna Drake (Broadway-A Chorus Line, Sophisticated Ladies; Emmy nomination, 4 Drama Desk Nominations and a Theatre World Award).

Tickets are $49.50. For more information on ITALIAN BRED visit www.italianbredshow.com. To purchase tickets call Telecharge 212-239-6200 or visit www.telecharge.com.
