TCP_Over the River and Through the Woods logoOVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
Tree County Players
Jan. 18-20
Main St. Playhouse [Greensburg, Ind.]

Directed by Amanda Gault

Cast: Peter Harrah as Nick Cristano, Jeff Lincourt as Frank Gianelli, Cathy Lincourt as Aida Gianelli, Jim Pruett as Nunzio Cristano, Sue Menefee as Emma Cristano & Katy Prairie as Caitlin O’Hare

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 the lovely – and single – Caitlin O’Hare as bait…we won’t give the ending away here.

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine.  As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.
