Candice Guardino: Italian Bred

Saturday October 18, 2025 at 8:00 p.m.

Candice Guardino’s Italian Bred is a “5 STAR ⭐ ” and “MUST SEE!” from New York
Critics to Chicago and Los Angeles. After selling out across the country, Candice visits
for one show only! Italian Bred is a hilarious and heartwarming theatrical comedy based
on true life events about growing up Italian Style. Candice slips in and out of multiple
family characters, story-tells hilarious childhood moments and sings songs that all make
this woman one incredible talent. A new take on solo shows is exactly what Candice
does best and it’s not to be missed!
