Over the River and Through the Woods
presented by the White Rock Players Club
June 1 – 18, 2022
1532 Johnston Road
The talented team of the White Rock Players Club presents the play Over the River and Through the Woods, a comedy by Joe DiPietro Baitz. Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he’s been offered a dream job. The job he’s been waiting for—marketing executive—would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. A production by WRPC with double cast, rotating shows. Tickets are available online.
