MY LADY'S SONG - Act 3
APR 7, 2026
MY LADY'S SONG - Act 3
A mother is murdered. A tape destroys everything. And a driver who kept his mouth shut for twelve years finally decides to speak — with blood. ACT THREE The blackmail worked. That’s the problem. Because once the truth is out, there’s nothing left to negotiate. Only what it costs. Sal is done driving. He’s done surviving. And for the first time since he walked out of prison, he’s not trying to stay clean... he’s trying to settle accounts. Hara finally reveals what Lotta really built, not a hustle, not a side game, but a system designed to take down men who thought they were untouchable. Vincent moves to contain it. Charlie gets caught in the fallout. And Carmela... the only innocent in a guilty world, pays for all of it. That’s the moment the story breaks. Not when the tape surfaces. When the family does. Act Three is not about power. It’s about what power does when it slips. Doors close. Phones stop ringing. Old friends don’t answer. And the men who used to run everything start hiding from one man who has nothing left to lose. Sal isn’t looking for a way out. He’s looking for the last word. And it’s waiting in a garage... one hostage, one voice over the intercom, and one decision that decides who walks and who gets carried out. My Lady’s Song was never about blackmail. It was about what happens after. This is the part nobody survives. 🎭 CAST SAL – Ronnie Marmo CHARLIE – Sam McMurray SENATOR BAXTER / THE JOHN – Joe Mantegna VINCENT – Dan Lauria HARA – Gia Mantegna LOTTA – Ally Dunbar DONNA – Janelle Marmo CARMELA – Patty McCormack PORN DIRECTOR – Robert Wuhl LEO – Zeke Alton ANTHONY – Alec Leonard NARRATOR – Vanessa Richardson With additional performances from: Janelle Marmo, Ally Dunbar, Gia Mantegna, Zeke Alton, Alec Leonard 🎬 PRODUCTION Directed by Jack Levy & Mark Knell Executive Produced by Shaan Sharma, Mark Knell, and Jack Levy Table Read is a Manifest Media production.

MY LADY'S SONG - Act 2

MY LADY'S SONG - Act 2
A limo driver. A blackmail tape in motion. A senator with everything to protect.   What started as leverage is about to turn into control, betrayal, and survival. ACT TWO The ride is over. The damage is not. What was leverage becomes exposure.   And everyone wants a piece of it. Sal thought he could drive away from it.   He was wrong. The tape moves. Hands change. Intentions shift.   And the people behind it start stepping into the light. Vincent steps in. Old world. Old rules.   A man who understands that power isn’t what you have… it’s what you can take back. Charlie circles.   Smiling just enough to make you wonder how far this goes. And Baxter? He doesn’t panic. He recalculates.   Because men like him don’t lose… they rewrite the outcome. Hara sees it too. The angles. The leverage. The opening.   And she’s not asking permission. The city fades in the rearview. The road stretches out.   What’s left is distance… and decisions. Who controls the tape?   Who controls the story?   And who walks away from it? Because now it’s not about the job. It’s about ownership. Act Two is where alliances fracture, truth gets negotiated, and silence becomes the most dangerous move in the room. And by the time it’s over… no one is clean. 🎭 CAST SAL – Ronnie Marmo   CHARLIE – Sam McMurray   SENATOR BAXTER / THE JOHN – Joe Mantegna   VINCENT – Dan Lauria   HARA – Gia Mantegna   LOTTA – Ally Dunbar   NARRATOR – Vanessa Richardson   DONNA – Janelle Marmo   CARMELA – Patty McCormack   PORN DIRECTOR – Robert Wuhl   LEO – Zeke Alton   ANTHONY – Alec Leonard   With additional performances from:   Janelle Marmo, Ally Dunbar, Gia Mantegna, Zeke Alton, Alec Leonard   🎬 PRODUCTION Directed by Jack Levy  & Mark Knell Executive Produced by Shaan Sharma, Jack Levy, and Mark Knell   Table Read is a Manifest Media production.

My Lady's Song - Act 1
MY LADY'S SONG A limo driver. Two porn stars. A senator with everything to lose. One night in New York that turns into leverage, betrayal, and war. ACT ONE New York. Late-night Eighth Avenue. Strip clubs, neon, and power moving quietly behind tinted glass. Sal “The Barber” Marino is a former soldier of the streets, a man who did twelve years without talking and now makes a living driving high-end clients through a city he no longer trusts. One call pulls him back in. A simple job. Easy money. Drive the girls. Pick up the client. Keep your mouth shut. But the client is a powerful senator. The ride is being recorded. And the job isn’t what it seems. What starts as routine turns into leverage. a blackmail setup that reaches into politics, unions, and the last remnants of old-school control. As the night bleeds into morning and the city gives way to the open road, Sal is locked in with Hara; young, sharp, and unpredictable. Two worlds collide. Old code versus new survival. And then it breaks. A confrontation. A line crossed. A slap that lands harder than anything that came before. That’s the moment everything changes. Act One ends when business becomes personal... and there’s no going back. 🎭 CAST SAL – Ronnie Marmo CHARLIE – Sam McMurray SENATOR BAXTER / THE JOHN – Joe Mantegna VINCENT – Dan Lauria HARA – Gia Mantegna LOTTA – Ally Dunbar NARRATOR – Vanessa Richardson DONNA – Janelle Marmo CARMELA – Patty McCormack PORN DIRECTOR – Robert Wuhl LEO – Zeke Alton ANTHONY – Alec Leonard 🎬 PRODUCTION Directed by Mark Knell & Jack Levy Executive Produced by Shaan Sharma, Jack Levy, and Mark Knell Table Read is a Manifest Media production.

🎧 THE G.Y.M. | Trailer
🎧 THE G.Y.M. Welcome to THE G.Y.M. Not a gym. A situation. Valerie inherited a neighborhood gym from her mother. What she actually inherited? Debt, broken equipment, a failing business… and a staff that turns every small problem into a full-blown emergency. Across the street, a sleek corporate fitness empire is opening with glass walls, perfect lighting, and zero chaos. Inside The G.Y.M.? Flooded hot tubs. Out-of-order bikes. A spin class that may or may not be a lawsuit waiting to happen. And a “Grand Re-Opening” that could either save the place… or finally finish it. This is a workplace comedy where nothing works, nobody communicates, and every attempt to fix things somehow makes them worse. Think Parks and Recreation meets It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, set inside a failing gym where the stakes are low… until suddenly they’re not. Recorded live at SXSW /. Podcast Movement, this Austin Film Festival award-winning script by Dani Hanks delivers fast, character-driven comedy with just enough heart to make you root for people who absolutely should not be in charge of anything. You don’t come here to get fit. You come here because something is definitely about to go wrong. 🎭 Cast Allison Dunbar as Valerie Yasmine Al-Bustami as Kayla Kensington Tallman as Alexa Shaan Sharma as Wade Joe Nemmers as Gary Hughes Jacob A. Ware as Bryan Brian Villalobos as Chris Amy Bailey as Mary Heather Foster, Narrator Special appearance by our attorney Scott Hervey as Client Carlin 🎬 From Table Read Podcast Executive Producers: Jack Levy, Mark Knell, & Shaan Sharma Produced by Manifest Media Productions Recorded live at SXSW / Podcast Movement See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

My Lady’s Song - Trailer
TABLE READ: My Lady’s Song Written by Dan Lauria New York. Late-night Eighth Avenue. Strip clubs, limos, politicians, porn stars, and ghosts of the old neighborhood. My Lady’s Song drops you straight into the smoky, blood-soaked underbelly of a city that doesn’t forgive and never forgets. Sal “The Barber” Marino is an aging ex-soldier of the streets — a limo driver who once did twelve years without talking. Now he drives high-end clients and keeps his head down. But when a powerful senator, a pair of porn stars, and a blackmail tape collide during sensitive union negotiations, Sal is pulled back into a world he thought he left behind. This is not a nostalgia piece. This is loyalty versus survival. Old code versus new money. Family versus leverage. Set against a soundtrack style of Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, and Bessie Smith, My Lady’s Song moves like Goodfellas at midnight and feels like The Sopranos when the jokes stop being funny. What starts as a simple drive to Los Angeles turns into a reckoning — with betrayal, with memory, and with the cost of keeping your mouth shut. Nobody in podcasting is bringing this level of writing, performance, and cinematic scope. This is prestige drama. Performed. Not narrated. Hollywood caliber. Start to finish. ___________________________________ 🎭 FULL CAST SAL – Ronnie Marmo An ex-con soldier turned limo driver. Hardened. Loyal. Dangerous when pushed. CHARLIE – Sam McMurray La Salle Limo manager. Old-school operator with a sharp tongue. SENATOR BAXTER / THE JOHN – Joe Mantegna Powerful, polished, and utterly ruthless. Politics meets leverage. VINCENT – Dan Lauria Union boss. Businessman. Architect of control. HARA – Gia Mantegna Young, defiant, smarter than everyone assumes. LOTTA – Ally Dunbar Savvy operator. Knows how to play both sides of the camera. NARRATOR – Vanessa Richardson A true-crime icon brings gravitas and noir elegance to the storytelling spine. DONNA – Janelle Marmo CARMELA – Patty McCormack PORN DIRECTOR – Robert Wuhl LEO – Zeke Alton ANTHONY – Alec Leonard With additional performances from: Janelle Marmo Ally Dunbar Gia Mantegna Zeke Alton Alec Leonard This cast could walk onto a soundstage tomorrow and shoot this for theatrical release. It’s that level. ____________________________________________________________________ Directed by Mark Knell & Jack Levy Executive Produced by Shaan Sharma, Jack Levy, and Mark Knell Table Read is a Manifest Media production.
