Nick Cristano may be living the life of a modern young professional in New York City, but his loving grandparents never let him forget where he belongs: in New Jersey, in the bosom of his tenacious, tender-hearted, loud, loving, and well-fed Italian-American grandparents, who live two doors down from each other in Hoboken, and who lavish all of their affection on their last unmarried grandchild. Faithfully, Nick goes “over the river” to Grandma’s house every week for Sunday dinner.
When he is offered an important promotion in Seattle, Washington, Nick threatens to break this routine by a distance of some 2,800 miles! Frank, Aida, Emma, and Nunzio are heartbroken at the prospect of their beloved grandson raising a family all the way across the country — or worse, not raising a family at all! Besides the usual tactics of emotional blackmail, in order to keep him safe at home, these wily elders cook up a matchmaking scheme, inviting lovely nurse Caitlin O’Hare over for Sunday dinner.
Will the prospect of true love keep Nick from moving across the country? Over the River and Through the Woods is a warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow. Joe DiPietro’s intimate family comedy featuring a mature cast is a beloved staple of theaters across the United States.

The ComedySportz High School League® is the largest, most successful teen improv theatre program in the United States.
We play improvisation as a team sport, with two teams “competing” for audience laughs. The stage is split into 2 sides, there’s a referee and the players are in uniform. It’s not comedy about sports; it’s comedy played as a sport. Because everyone knows what a sport is, there is immediate buy-in from the audience. People who have never been to the theatre before walk through the door because they’re not intimidated. Because it’s improvisational, it’s always different, and you will have fans that come to every performance.
Join us and cheer on the Montgomery Team while they compete against other high schools (and sometimes each other)!

“You Can’t Take It With You” is a comedic play by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman that centers around the eccentric Sycamore family, whose unconventional ways stand in stark contrast to the more conservative values of the outside world. The household is a vibrant mix of oddball characters pursuing their individual passions: the patriarch, Grandpa Vanderhof, spends his time collecting snakes and attending commencement ceremonies; Penny Sycamore, the matriarch, writes unproduced plays and paints; her husband, Paul, constructs fireworks in the basement with the help of Mr. DePinna, a former ice delivery man. Their daughter, Essie, aspires to be a ballerina despite her lack of talent, and her husband, Ed, plays the xylophone and prints random phrases. Amidst this chaos, their other daughter, Alice, appears to be the only “normal” one, working a regular office job and dating Tony Kirby, the son of her wealthy and conservative boss.
The plot thickens when Tony proposes to Alice, leading to a clash between the free-spirited Sycamores and the uptight Kirbys. The families are scheduled to meet, but a mix-up results in the Kirbys arriving on the wrong night, exposing them to the full extent of the Sycamores’ eccentricities. The ensuing interactions highlight the absurdity of social pretensions and the value of individual happiness over societal expectations. As tensions rise and comedic mishaps unfold, both families are forced to reconsider their views on life and what truly matters. Ultimately, the play champions the idea that personal fulfillment and living life on one’s own terms are far more important than wealth and societal approval.
