The 1998 New York production of this play won acclaim from critics and audiences alike. “Over the River & Through the Woods” takes us to a family Sunday dinner with Nick Cristano, a young man trying to break with his New Jersey roots to take his dream job in another city. His Italian grandparents, looking for a reason to keep Nick close to home, invite a lovely young single woman to dinner as bait. Along the way Nick learns a thing or two about his grandparents, himself and what family is all about.

The performances will take place Saturday, March 6 & 13, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, March 7 &14 at 2 p.m.  Join in the fun opening night, Saturday, March 6 for a social at 5:30 p.m.,  followed by a spaghetti dinner served just like at the Cristano house at 6 p.m. The cost is $15 per person. (Please purchase dinner tickets by March 3.) “Over the River & Through the Woods” is part of the Historic Holmes Theatre BTD Community Connections Series. Individual tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students.
