Town Players of Newtown will host auditions for Over The River And Through The Woods, by Joe DiPietro, on Sunday, June 25, from 4 to 6 pm, and Monday, June 26, from 7 to 9 pm.Over The River And Through The Woods premiered in the Bronx in 1994. It follows the story of Nick, a single young Italian American man who is the only member of his family who is still geographically close enough to his two sets of grandparents in suburban New Jersey to join them for dinner every Sunday. Although he loves them all dearly, he sometimes finds them very annoying.newtownplayers.org.info@newtownplayers.org.

When Nick's family hears the news that he may be moving to Seattle for his dream job, they plot and scheme to introduce him to a "nice Catholic girl," hoping he'll be so besotted that moving away will be out of the question. What happens afterward is not necessarily what you might expect.

Sherry Asch of Brewster, N.Y., will direct the Town Players production, which is scheduled for weekends, August 18-26.

The production calls for three men and three women. If possible, actors should read the play in advance and be ready to read sides from the script. No appointment is necessary, and all roles are available.

Character descriptions are available at

Auditions will take place at The Little Theatre, 18 Orchard Hill Road.
