Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Over the River and Through the Woods
by Joe DiPietro
Directed by Jim Carver
Nick is a single, Italian-American marketing executive from New Jersey who spends every Sunday having dinner with his four grandparents in Hoboken. Every. Single. Sunday. When he announces a big promotion that will relocate him to Seattle, the old folks are devastated — and immediately start scheming. Cue the guilt trips, the emotional blackmail, and an ambush blind date with a nice Irish nurse named Caitlin. DiPietro's warm-hearted comedy ran 800 performances Off-Broadway, and it's easy to see why: you'll laugh until you cry, then just keep crying.
Run Time – 2 hours with one 10-minute intermission
