A touching comedy about "faith, family and food", Theater NOW presents Joe DiPietro's play Over the River and Through the Woods. We welcome you into the home of four loving, innocent and overbearing Italian grandparents, You'll be joining them like family - mostly in the kitchen-- to witness an elaborate and concocted scheme to keep their grandson, Nick, from moving to Seattle. Share in the hilarious conversation between the old world values and the new, while joining in the love, pain, and laughter of family and generation...and change...as Nunzio, Emma, Frank, and Aida show us the simplicity of living life... hard work, abundant food, and "Tengo Famiglia"... I have a family."By no means intended as an audience-participation show, the ... comedy by Joe DiPietro is as interactive as one can get, in Old World terms, before technology put a new spin on the word interactive. And it's the Old World, culturally and theatrically, that informs Mr. DiPietro's play about a young man brought up according to the three F's: family, faith and food. Yes, the audience calls out the third word in spontaneous, unsolicited chorus." NY TIMES. More information coming... |
