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. You'll just have to come see how it turns out!

Written by Joe DiPietro. Over the River and Through the Woods has been described as, "A hilarious family comedy that is even funnier than his long-running musical revue I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" by Backstage Magazine. Over the River and Through the Woods is produced in cooperation with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
