    Over the River and Through the Woods

    Over the River and Through the Woods

    November 19th – December 24th

    by Joe DiPietro

    Every Sunday, Nick crosses the river to New Jersey and has dinner with both sets of his Italian-American grandparents. But Nick has dreams, and when he receives the perfect job offer from the west coast, he is determined to take it. His grandparents – Frank, Aida, Nunzio, and Emma – are just as determined that he stay put. Thus begins a series of shameless schemes and hilarious shenanigans that will have you roaring in your seat while reminding you of the wonderful zaniness that is family.

    OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

    Barter Theatre is partially funded by:

    This project was supported [in part] by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

    Watch a preview of the show!
