Knowles Appears at Sterling's Upstairs on Feb. 10

Maura M. Knowles will open the new Stering's Upstairs at Vitello's season on February 10th with her show "Life's Little Ironies," which will play for one night only.

The show is directed by Todd Nielsen and features musical direction by Brett Ryback.

Knowles' work ranges from her role in the critically-acclaimed rock musical Bare, Francis Ford Coppola's Gidget and Hollywood Revisited (CD on LML Music) to the CD she recorded with Frank Palmieri.  She also starred in the critically acclaimed, world premiere of Jay Duffer's play, Big Girl Little World, at the International Fringe Festival in New York City.  Legendary film star and producer Warren Beatty gave Knowles her first screen break in the motion picture Bulworth, which prompted roles in several independent films, including The Yardsale with Anne Meara.  She has since had guest starring roles on such hit television shows as "Special Victims Unit," "Law and Order," "E.R.," "Girlfriends," "Titus," "Providence," "Becker," "Chicken Soup for the Soul," "The Young and the Restless," and a recurring role on the long running soap, "The Bold and the Beautiful."

Vitello's is located in Studio City, CA.  For reservations, call (818) 981-3077; a $50 Value Dinner and Show Package is available.
