The crowd starts to form...

It was a great opening night... The cast hit it out of the park and brought the script to life!

The audience was engaged and generous with their praise.

Two more opportunities to see the show... You will not be disappointed.

Filomena's... the family pizza business is never far away because the Andriola's live above their Brooklyn store. When the youngest son, Vincent, arrives home with his new wife, problems arise with three generations living under one roof. Angelina, the mother, still reeling from the death of an elder son, yearns for things to be the way they were. The family expects Vincent to fill the shoes of the older brother and take over the store, but he and the new wife have different ideas. Family, Tradition, Tragedy... Pizza!

How is this character like you? Different?

Rose - This character could be me.

What’s the last thing you do before you step out on stage / the curtain goes up?

Meet Timothy Akers who plays "Vincent"...

What do you love about this character?

Tim - I love that I can relate to elements in this characters life and further love that he has his gorgeous wife.

What’s the biggest challenge about taking on this role?

Tim - I'd say my biggest challenge is psychological because I like to imagine and become the character and though Vincent and I have similarities, I can't dance very well let alone teach it.

What’s the last thing you do before you step out on stage / the curtain goes up?

Tim - Pray. I pray for a good, safe, and fun show for all involved.
