Looking for something different this December?
This performance will be a staged reading of Jo DiPietra’s Over the River and Through the Woods, a warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow. Nick Cristano may be living the life of a modern young professional in New York City, but his loving grandparents never let him forget where he belongs: in New Jersey! Faithfully, Nick goes “over the river” to Grandma’s house every week for Sunday dinner, with his tenacious, tender-hearted, loud, loving, and well-fed Italian-American grandparents. When he is offered an important promotion in Seattle, Washington, Frank, Aida, Emma, and Nunzio are heartbroken at the prospect of their beloved grandson raising a family all the way across the country – or worse, not raising a family at all! These wily elders cook up a matchmaking scheme, inviting lovely Caitlin O-Hare over for Sunday dinner. Will the prospect of true love keep Nick from moving across the country? Joe DiPietro’s intimate family comedy featuring a mature cast is a beloved staple of theatres across the United States. (Rated PG due to occasional swear language.)
Tickets $10 adults, $8 seniors/students/children
