Candice Guardino's Hit Show Comes To Bristol Riverside Theatre

Actress, writer, comedian, Candice Guardino is being called someone who "Stuns!", "A Must See" and is "Re- defining Solo Performances" by Chicago, Los Angeles, and New Jersey. Bristol Riverside Theatre will present Candice's hit show, Italian Bred, Friday and Saturday February 15th and 16th with 7pm and 9:30pm showtimes.

Italian Bred is a hilarious and heartwarming one-woman theatrical comedy, written by and starring Candice. The story is based on true-life events and told through the eyes of a little girl growing up in Staten Island. Having written down everything her loving and outspoken grandmother ever uttered, Candice slips in and out of multiple family characters while sharing the stage with virtual cameos of Emmy winner Leslie Jordan (Will and Grace), Mario Cantone (Sex & the City), Steve Schirripa (The Sopranos), and Vic DiBitetto (Mall Cop 2.)

Candice will perform at BRT after sold out shows in Florida, New York City, Los Angeles, New Jersey and Chicago where she received rave reviews. Italian Bred will remind audiences of their own unique upbringing and unforgettably hilarious childhood memories. A new take on solo shows is exactly what Candice does and it's not to be missed!

All tickets are $49. Tickets are available by visiting brtstage.org or calling the BRT Box Office at 215-785-0100. Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA.
