Christmas Eve at Momma's

Written and directed by Bob Petrucelli and Carol Azzarone-Onuschak

October 30, 2018 - 11 am in the Americana room at Mulberry Rec Center

Short play - no set or body microphones - requires a total of 3 men and 5 women

Any Villages resident may audition. If chosen, you must join The VTC. People with little or no experience are

encouraged to audition.

Play Summary:

It's Christmas Eve at Momma's house, circa 1975. It's the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes, but Momma

wasn't expecting Joey to bring another one of his conquests to dinner. Tiffany was another one of Joey's

conquests. Joey was married twice to Italian women and divorced from both of them. His latest conquest was

Tiffany, a real bimbo. Momma was from the ole' country. She brought all of the traditions she learned as a

child with her. Momma never quite adapted to life in America and having Nonna with her guaranteed that the

Italian culture would be passed down and continued. This original comedy, written through the eyes of those

who lived through it, will bring back memories of days gone by as Momma's children are forever branded with

the undying love of family, while never forgetting that "Momma knows best."

Character descriptions:

Momma (Real name Rose short for Rosalina) - An elderly, take charge lady, in her 60's, matronly dresssed

Dad (real name Giovanni) - an elderly man with the start of Alzheimer's or dementia

Faye (Short for Philamena) - 40ish with a feminists attitude. Married to Johnny, one child, Angela, who is living

and studying in Italy for a year.

Yola (Short for Yolanda) - 40ish, meek and unmarried

Nonna (real name Maria) - 70ish dressed in all black, still mourning her husband who died 20 years ago

Tiffany - 30ish dressed very brassy, flashy, the classic "bimbo"

Joey - 30ish a real GUIDO type (tons of gold chains etc). Wears a "wife beater" T shirt. Been married and

divorced twice with one child, Anthony.

Johnny - 40ish married to Faye another GUIDO type
