About the Show

“Manning’s Madhouse” is an emotional, spiritual and psychological, journey through Alice’s childhood, living in a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath Tudor home in Cleveland, Ohio.
With 9 children, life was a roller coaster ride, literally, as her Dad worked for Cedar Point, the largest amusement park in the midwest.  
Life on Allison Road was at times traumatic, and at times hilarious. Alice weaves these memories with historical events, painting a vivid picture of life as a small child in the 60’s, while revealing the sibling relationship that shaped her life.

Alice starred in the National Tour of the one-person show, "Family Secrets,” the longest running solo show in Off Broadway History. She taught acting at Harvard and has toured Europe, The United States, and Canada with The USO, The American Repertory Theatre, and the National Players Shakespeare Company. 

She has also been writing, producing, and performing autobiographical solo shows for over 20 years. Her intention in her writing and performing is to “take the audience on a cathartic roller coaster ride and send them out the other side laughing.”

Alice’s solo shows include…”The Potato Wars,” “ The Mommy Opera,” “Stronger Than the Wind,” and “Manning’s Madhouse.”
