The Long Christmas Journey to Wellesley and Weston
Written by John Minigan
Directed by Gary Giurbino
With Carsen Schroeder, Gary Giurbino, Alaina Manzo, Christian Arden
Over the course of 63 years, multiple generations of an Italian immigrant family take a Christmas car ride through time and place on their way to becoming an American family, gaining wealth and status but sacrificing parts of their identity and history.
“A lovely, gentle play - openly reminiscent of Thornton Wilder.”
“A tour de force led by Gary Giurbino - directing, acting, editing - wow!”
“The actors (Gary, Alaina, Carsen, Christian) took on multiple roles and were believable in all of them.”
