Just Between Us: A Piano, a Mic, a Memory

As a child growing up in a one-bedroom railroad apartment in Brooklyn, Marilyn Hausfeld loved to sing. She landed a spot on a weekly television show and a Nathan’s Hot Dogs commercial, but she didn’t truly take to the stage until after she’d seen her three kids off to school. She has appeared in many D.C.-area theaters in roles including Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, Stella Adler in Stella, Kate in Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound and Brighton Beach Memoirs, and Esther in Richard Rashke’s Dear Esther.

Now Marilyn tells her own story in an intimate one-woman cabaret show featuring 15 songs plus reflections on parenthood, marriage, and being a grandparent. Washington Women in Theatre chose Just Between Us as the only cabaret at the Women’s Voices Theatre Festival.
