Over the River and Through the Woods

Aurora Theatre will end its fifteeth anniversary season with Over the River and Through the Woods by Tony Award-Winner Joe DiPietro. Just like the box office record-breaking hits Noises Off in 2008 and Boeing, Boeing in 2010, Aurora Theatre gives theatre patrons a chance to start their summer with a side-splitting comedy. In the heart of an Italian-American neighborhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, Sunday dinner at the Gianelli’s house is not to be missed. Nick is the only grandson, so when he is offered a promotion that will take him to the west coast, the family goes into panic mode and no amount of cooking can solve the problem. In this heartfelt comedy about growing old, one generation struggles to understand another.

The curtain goes up on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm, Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 2:30pm. There is a special show on Wednesday, June 1, at 10:00am.
