About Made in Italy 

An Italian teenager growing up in Jasper in the 1970s, caught between two worlds and determined to make his mark. This tour-de-force show is packed with disco, fantastic singing and a host of hilarious characters. Winner of the Sterling Award (Edmonton), Jessie Award (Vancouver) and Betty Mitchell Award (Calgary) for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Comedy, as well as the Calgary Theatre Critic's Award for Outstanding Performance in a One-Person Show, this is a delightful, heartfelt coming of age story about a kid with the heart of Rocky Balboa and the moves (and hair!) of John Travolta. 

The Cast: Farren Timoteo (Francesco Mantini), Daniel Curalli (Francesco Mantini Understudy) 

The Creative Team: Daryl Cloran (Director), Laura Krewski (Original Choreographer), Cory Sincennes (Set Designer), Cindy Wiebe (Costume Designer), Celeste English (Lighting Designer), Conor Moore (Original Lighting Design), Mishelle Cuttler (Sound Designer), Bex Tralli (Audio Consultant), Christine Leroux (Stage Manager), Emilie Aubin (Assistant Stage Manager),  Hazel Moore (Apprentice Stage Manager), Andrei Mazuruc (Technical Director), Colin Rivers & Robert Richardson / Marquis Entertainment (Producers)
