Emergency Used Candles Tickets

Emergency Used Candles is a solo theater piece written and performed by Chiara Montalto-Giannini. Rooted in family history and Brooklyn heritage, the show centers on a Brooklyn Italian-American grandfather and granddaughter, drawing on Montalto-Giannini’s own experiences. Since its world premiere Off-Broadway in 2010 and later Los Angeles premiere in 2012, the piece has earned recognition across film festivals and continues to be active in writing initiatives. This page offers a detailed biography of the artist, highlights from the discography-like stage work, and notes on upcoming tour or development opportunities as of 2026.

While not a musical tour, Emergency Used Candles has inspired discussions about adaptation for film and ongoing writing collaborations.
