Being Somebody

Being Somebody—the critically acclaimed, heartwarming performance by father-daughter duo Dr. Howard Mase and Marla Mase—returns to New York City for one performance only on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at 2 p.m. at Caveat (21 A Clinton St., NYC). After captivating audiences with sold-out shows across NYC, Westchester, Rhode Island, and Florida, this unforgettable performance makes its highly anticipated return for a special matinee engagement. A moving and hilarious coming-of-age journey, Being Somebody blends masterful storytelling, music, and song to explore identity, family, and the ever-evolving nature of self-discovery. Dr. Howard Mase, a psychologist, mentor, and beloved coach, transports audiences to 1940s Brooklyn, reliving the post-war glow of his youth, while Marla weaves in her own musical reflections on chasing dreams and navigating femininity in the gritty disco era of the 1970s. Together, they tackle family feuds, first loves, body image struggles, and even digestive mishaps—delivering a show that is as heartfelt as it is hilarious.
