Maureen Utsman Returns to Stage After 50 Years

It’s been nearly five decades since she last took the stage solo; but now, Belizean artist Maureen Utsman is making a powerful return. Her new theatrical showcase, Stories of My Life, is more than just a performance, it’s a heartfelt tribute to memory, resilience, and the voices of women over seventy. Hosted by the Institute of Creative Arts, the show will take place at the Bliss Center for Performing Arts and features a special appearance by the legendary vocalist Nelita Castillo.

“So tomorrow we have here at The Bliss the production by Maureen Utsman it’s a one woman production entitled “Stories of My Life” women over seventy making their voices heard This is Maureen Utsman’s biographical play that she’s presenting. She very much desired a career in the theater arts in maybe even contributing to Belize I this way that her life took many unforeseen twist and turns but through all of it she always kept this spirit of resilience and determination and that s really something that I think you best come to experience what that story is its really inspirational I think for all women.”

 

It’s a celebration of life, legacy, and the strength of storytelling.
