From the award winning playwright, Joe DiPietro, whose work includes the famous musical I Love You, Your Perfect, Now Change, comes a heart-warming production in time for the Valentine Holiday.
Over the River and Through the Woods is the story of Nick...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. This funny and touching story is wonderful for all ages.
