 fun with your hair. And you know I meant that nuts. Katelyn, I would just like to take a moment to apologize for basically everything that's been said this afternoon. What? We said nothing bad. Nuts. Did we say anything bad? No. We bet they're mindful. This family is together in a neighborhood in New Jersey and one by one the members have died or have left and the last person to leave, the neighborhood is little Nicholas who's a great big grown-up man now. And how the grandparents deal with that and how you yourself might need to deal with separation of loss in your own family. And this one by Joe DiPietro. I mean it surprised everybody. You know so many laughs, so many well even tears you know. I mean it's just he he pulls it off so quickly you don't even know what's happening to you. This play is very heartwarming which also appealed to me and I feel like it's the simple story about love and I don't know who couldn't relate to that so it's just enjoyable for me getting to end. You know one of the beautiful things about having you know run this a couple times at the table is we haven't been able to get through a single read through without somebody tearing up. And I think when a show is able to do that but also make you laugh I mean what more could you ask? Oh I just love this play. It's absolutely lovely. It's very very funny but at the same time it's it's about family and it's very heartwarming and touching. What happens in this Italian family is something that happens in all families when you really talk about love and regard and attachment, separation, all these issues that every family confronts. I play the grandson Nick Cristano as he wants to make his own way but he's also still closely tied to his family so he's sort of at that stage in his life where he's trying to sort of reconcile all of that. Don't mind Nicky Katelyn. He just gets a little upset, a little excited sometimes. Sorry. That's okay. I like passionate people. Oh that's a nice way of saying that. See we ain't loud, we're passionate. So Nicky Katelyn hasn't had a day for a while. Man that's personal information. Actually she's right. I am playing one of the grandmothers Aida and under and over the river through the woods and she is an Italian housewife from New Jersey and she loves her grandson Nicholas and she loves her husband and the other side of grandparents who share Nicholas and her child was Nicholas's mother. I'm playing Frank. Frank is a guy who reminds me a lot of my own father. My dad came to the U.S. a lot later in life, he was about 27, but this guy came over when he was 14 and it's somebody who really came without much of anything and made a life for himself and for his family in the U.S. coming from Italy which he really felt he had to leave because there was really nothing there for him. Well my part is Nunzio Cristano and he's the paternal grandfather of Nicky, the young male lead in the play and his beautiful wife is Emma. My character is called Emma and she's married to Nunzio and she is she is one of the grandparents of Nicky, the young man in the play and of course she adores Nicky, but then she adores everybody. My character's name is Kaelin O'Hare. She is a young working single woman who is looking for a date and I would describe her as confident and honest. Go ahead YouTube, pretend like we're not here. I hope it's like that's possible. No he's talking fresh. I am not talking fresh. He's talking fresh. Gramps, quiet. I can't be quiet. I'm passionate. The play is going to be at this Gadampa Library in Damroscota in the Porta Meeting Hall which is a very comfortable place to watch a play. You can see well from any seat and you're very close to the actors. We open on the 17th at 7.30 and we'll play the 18th at 7.30 and the 24th and the 25th at 7.30 and then the two Sunday matinees will be the 19th at 3 o'clock and the 26th at 3 o'clock. So if you can laugh and explore some pretty serious and sometimes very painful issues that's beautiful. There's no better way to spend an evening than seeing a good play and coming away feeling better about life. For reservations you need to call 5 6 3 8 1 1 6. This play can get to you and and that's what people want when they go to the theater. They want a sense that they've been moved and something has happened. The play's all about how you love your grandchildren and each other. It's funny, poignant, fantastic.
