An intergenerational story of love, legacy, and laughter unfolded on stage at the Friedberg JCC as audiences experienced Being Somebody – The Show, a moving father-daughter performance on June 19.
Starring 89-year-old psychologist Dr. Howard Mase and his daughter, artist Marla Mase, the production wove together storytelling, music, and movement to explore their personal histories—spanning from 1940s Brooklyn to the 1970s. With heartfelt reflections and comedic flair, the Mases shared life lessons and generational insight, making for an evening that was as poignant as it was entertaining.
Directed by Elizabeth Browning, with original music by Marla Mase and Tomás Doncker, the show drew a warm response from the crowd, who appreciated the rare opportunity to witness a real-life family narrative unfold live on stage.
