Rita Costanzi To Perform at Solo Performance Theatre Festival 10/26

Harpist/Actor Rita Costanzi Brings "...indescribably wonderful..." Life Story to the Solo Performance Theatre Festival.

Rita Costanzi, a masterful musician and an accomplished actress, combines these talents in a personal tell-all tale of music, passion and a very large instrument. Her musical monologue, A Score to Settle, will be performed at the United Solo Theatre Festival at Theatre Row in New York City on Wednesday, October 26 at 3 p.m

A Score to Settle, directed by Arthur Masella, longtime associate of Harold Prince, and written by Canadian Playwright Kico Gonzalez-Risso, showcases Ms. Costanzi as a gifted storyteller and chronicles her growth from musical prodigy to serious performer.

Premiered at Festival Vancouver in 2007, A Score to Settle was hailed by the Vancouver Sun as "This remarkable piece" that "reveals Costanzi as a polished, energetic comic actress." The American Harp Journal notes that "Rita Costanzi continues to delight, move and inspire audiences with her performances as a consummate harpist and remarkable artist."

Formerly Principal Harp of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the CBC Radio Orchestra, Rita Costanzi has been featured as a solo artist on television and radio programs in Canada, the United States and Brazil.

United Solo Theatre Festival ^TM is the world's largest annual international festival for solo performances and is held in New York City.
