OVER
THE RIVER AND
THROUGH THE WOODS
June 9 - 18, 2006
Delightful comedy
by Joe DiPietro
Director: Jane Taylor
Left to Right:
Dottie Hughes as Emma, Mark Oliver
as Nunzio, Sparky Holmes as Frank, Harriet
Winokur as Aida, Laurie Kraker as Caitlin
and Brian Fitzgibbons as Nick.
Nick
is a single, Italian-American guy from
New Jersey. His parents retired and moved
to Florida. That doesn’t mean his
family isn’t still in Jersey. In
fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents
every Sunday for dinner. This is routine
until he has to tell them that he’s
been offered a dream job. The job he’s
been waiting for--marketing executive--would
take him away from his beloved, but annoying,
grandparents. He tells them. The news
doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins
a series of schemes to keep Nick around.
How could he betray his family’s
love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder
his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio
and Emma do their level best, and that
includes bringing to dinner the lovely--and
single--Caitlin O'Hare as bait...we won't
give the ending away here.
