"Saturday, Sunday, Monday"
The Little Theatre of Alexandria [more info :: tickets]
About the Play
Donna Rosa's extended family from
Naples gathers every Sunday for her famous ragu; however, this particular
Sunday trouble has been brewing and a good old family row is needed to
clear the air. Like any family, their kitchen and dining table serve as the focal point and serves to remind us that food, its preparation and enjoyment, equals love and forgiveness. Often referred to as the "best smelling show" on
Broadway, the meal is prepared, AND consumed, right before the audience!
