Created and performed by Mainelli and directed by Fiona Campbell, the solo show explores Mainelli’s experiences following a bipolar 1 diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Blending comedy, autobiographical storytelling, and reflections on grief and mental health, the production examines the first five years following her diagnosis.

The show incorporates manic episodes, depressive periods, and experiences navigating therapy and medication systems, while focusing on themes of acceptance, advocacy, and self-understanding.

Campbell said: “With BABY BIPOLAR , Maria gives us an honest, shameless, and wickedly funny telling of the search for radical self love.”

Mainelli previously toured her debut solo show FLY TRAP and has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, The Kennedy Center, Dad’s Garage, UCBNY, Camden Fringe, Pittsburgh Fringe, SoloCOM NYC, Atlanta Fringe, and the PIT NYC. She also received Helen Hayes Awards for Best Play and Best Ensemble for Blood at the Root with Theater Alliance.
