About MaryBeth Productions

      Michaela founded MaryBeth Productions in 2010 with the intent to produce 8 Ways my Mother was Conceived as its inaugural play.

Mary (a.k.a. the new Jesus Christ) is her mother, stage mom and biggest fan.

Beth is an angel. Michaela's grandmother Elizabeth "Nonna Bettina" Cefali predicted when the baby girl first started talking that she would never stop. That prediction definitely did come to pass.
