Over the River and Through the Woods - Directed by Ray Flynt

AUDITIONS: July 9 & 10 at 7 pm

Show dates: August 31 - September 10 (preview on August 30)

Synopsis:

29-year-old Nick just got his dream job that requires him to move to Seattle away from his Italian American grandparents in New Jersey. Now they must plot to keep him from leaving! Over the River and Through the Woods is a warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story of time passing, children growing up, and the meaning of family.

CHARACTERS:

Great roles for six actors, including four senior citizens. NOTE: Nick’s grandparents are 70ish. Will consider actors in their late 50s or 60s who can convincingly play that age range. Actors will read monologues and scenes from the script.

Nick Cristano – 20s – 30s - An up-and-coming marketing executive whose move to Seattle is about to turn his grandparents’ world upside down.

Frank Gianelli – Nick’s maternal grandfather. Immigrated to America from Italy at age 14 and worked as a carpenter to support his family.
Aida Gianelli – Nick’s maternal grandmother for whom a good meal can ease nearly any problem.

Nunzio Cristano – Nick’s paternal grandfather. Retired from a Ford automotive plant, he has a secret that he’s reluctant to share, even with his wife.

Emma Cristano – Nick’s paternal grandmother. Faith motivates her character along with a strong desire to keep family together.

Caitlin O’Hare – 20s – 30s – Charming. She’s a nurse and the unmarried niece of Emma’s canasta partner.
