Travel ‘Over the River
and Through the Woods’
Riverbend Players present comedy
NEHALEM — “Tengo fami-
glia!” — an Italian expression
that means “hold the family
together” — weaves its way
throughout “Over the Riv-
er and Through the Woods,”
the hit off-Broadway comedy
written by Joe DiPietro, pre-
sented by Riverbend Players
Saturday, Oct. 17 to Nov. 1 at
the North County Recreation
District.
This clever comedy spot-
lights the priority shift in the
younger generation from fam-
ily-centered identities to ca-
reer-driven ones.
Directed by Jeff Slamal,
the story takes shape after
29-year-old grandson Nick an-
nounces that a job promotion
would move him across the
country from New Jersey to
Seattle.
His crestfallen Italian
grandparents immediately plot
to make him stay. A barrage
of humor and sentimentality
ensues as Nick’s grandparents
try to change his mind about
moving — by introducing a
charming young woman into
the mix: “the unmarried niece
of my canasta partner,” as one
grandmother puts it.
