MARMALADIA Where Sweets Come Alive

Marmaladia grew from years of creating live, interactive family productions where children don’t simply watch the story — they become part of it.

The original characters, stories, costumes, and creative concepts were developed by Galyna Phidayeva, creator of Marmalade Kids Show. Over the years, these productions have brought music, theater, colorful characters, and audience participation together to create memorable experiences for children and families.

Today, that creative journey continues as Marmaladia — Where Sweets Come Alive, a growing family entertainment brand presented and produced by RULLYWOOD, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to arts, culture, community programming, and meaningful live experiences.

Our mission is simple: to create joyful theatrical experiences that spark imagination, encourage participation, and give families something wonderful to remember together.

Galyna Phidayeva — Creator & Artistic Director

Every Marmaladia adventure begins with an idea — and Galyna helps turn that idea into a living, colorful world.

She develops original story concepts, creates and shapes characters, imagines costumes and visual details, and helps determine how each production should look and feel on stage.

Throughout rehearsals, Galyna works closely with the performers, guiding scenes, character interaction, movement, timing, dialogue, and the overall rhythm of the show so that every moment feels natural, playful, and engaging for children.

Her creative approach is centered on one simple idea: children should not only watch the story — they should feel invited into it.

Through imagination, humor, music, colorful characters, and interactive moments, Galyna helps create experiences where children can laugh, respond, participate, and become part of the adventure.

Marmaladia grows from this creative vision, while RULLYWOOD helps bring it to the community through production, nonprofit support, partnerships, sponsorships, and public programming.
