About This Event
BEING
SOMEBODY, a funny, moving, and uplifting theatrical event directed by award-winning filmmaker and transformative acting coach Elizabeth Browning. The show stars Dr. Howard Mase, a vibrant 90-year-old practicing psychologist who began acting at 87, alongside his daughter, recording artist and performer Marla Mase. Through music, movement, and intimate storytelling, they invite audiences on a heartfelt journey back in time to Brooklyn in the post-war gleam of the 1940s and ’50s, and the gritty disco era of the ’70s—sharing hilarious childhood misadventures, tender family memories, and the unforgettable moments that shape whowe become. Nostalgic, deeply human, and inspiring, BEING SOMEBODY reminds us that it is never too late to grow, to dream, or to begin again.
