Upcoming Auditions

The Plot:

This touching and funny play follows Nick Cristano, a thirty-something Italian American bachelor from New Jersey who is very close to his four grandparents. When Nick is offered a job in Seattle, his grandparents, Frank, Aida, Nunzio, and Emma, are devastated by the thought of him moving away. In their efforts to keep him close, they come up with one heartfelt (and often hilarious) idea after another, including inviting a charming nurse to dinner in hopes of sparking a romance. The play beautifully captures the humor, love, and generational differences that make family so special.
