Maryann Maisano gives us a glimpse into growing up Italian in Fort Lee NJ, music career, dad’s taxi business and her one woman show “Agita” A true Italian-American tale centered around family, food, and of course, drama, Agita is the coming-of-age story of Maryann Maisano, a first-generation Italian American. Set in the shadows of the George Washington Bridge, Agita recounts the joys and challenges of life in 1960s suburban America being raised by traditional Italian immigrants in a rather dysfunctional household. Maisano takes the audience on a poignant and hilarious journey as she recounts tales of her rebellious childhood pushing against her family’s expectations that eventually lead her to embrace the unspeakable… THERAPY! Ultimately, Maisano makes two of the hardest decisions of her adult life, “coming out” to her very Italian family and trading in a six-figure job take a shot at being a full-time entertainer! Agita is a story of courage and hope, and how risking it all to fulfill our dreams is the true path to happiness! ag·i·ta /ˈajēdə/ noun 1.anxiety, stress, or aggravation 2. that feeling you get when you throw up a little in the back of your mouth and it burns AGITA has won “Best Comedy” from Lightbox International Film Festival.
