The theatre has concessions.

MANIC is a high-voltage one-woman show written, directed, & performed by Roxana Baldovin. A successful music video director, Roxana fuses cinematic pre-recorded sketches with live performance, blurring theatre and film into one electric experience. Through 14 wildly distinct characters - a burlesque mermaid, her Russian-speaking grandmother, a prophetic gypsy, and a drag-queen embodiment of her insecurities, for example, Roxana spirals through ambition, identity, and nurturing your inner child. As a millennial, it’s only natural she remixes early 2000’s pop hits & Broadway show tunes with a Weird Al zest, anchoring the show in y2k nostalgia. Campy, draggy, and visually bold, MANIC blends cabaret, stand-up, original music, and memoir into a glitter-streaked fever dream. Beneath the spectacle lies a raw question: which voices in our heads deserve the microphone?
