AUDITION AND CALLBACK INFORMATION:

Summit Theatre Group is pleased to announce open auditions for Over the River and Through the Woods! Nick is a single Italian American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That does not mean his family is not still in Jersey. In fact, he sees BOTH sets of his grandparents EVERY Sunday to eat, drink, and of course the hilarious nonstop Italian family bickering!

This is a cherished family routine until Nick tells his grandparents he has accepted a new job in Seattle Washington and will be moving soon. This does not set so well at all! Thus, a series of schemes begins to keep Nick in New Jersey! Soon, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best to make him stay, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely and single Caitlin O’ Hare as bait! Let the fun begin!
