FORT THOMAS, KY (04/22/26) -The Village Players of Fort Thomas invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most in Over the River and Through the Woods, a warmly funny and deeply touching comedy by acclaimed playwright Joe DiPietro. The production runs April 24 through May 2 and is presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Directed by Jerry Wiesenhahn, Over the River and Through the Woods tells the story of Nick Cristano, a young man whose loving but overbearing Italian-American grandparents refuse to let him move away without a fight.
