Italian American Reconciliation: A Comic Folktale by John Patrick Shanley
Why would a man attempt to win back the woman who shot his dog? Hugh Maximillian Bonfigliano could tell you why — and in so doing, you might just learn something wise and wonderful! From the Oscar-, Pulitzer- and Tony-winning writer of Doubt and Moonstruck, this heartwarming and comical play shows the lengths to which a man will go to prove his capacity to love and be loved.

6:30 p.m. – Wine and Cheese Reception; 7:30 p.m. – Performance
All seating is General Admission; performance is for ages 13 and older
