Love of family is the mantra that runs throughout this endearingly warm-hearted comedy. The audience is taken on a sweet and sentimental journey to grandparent's house in Hoboken, New Jersey. At the heart of the plot is a tight-knit Italian-American family. Nick Christano is a 29-year old marketing executive who dutifully visits his four grandparent's house every Sunday for dinners which are governed by "the three F's" - family, faith and food. One Sunday he has an exciting though devastating announcement - he's being promoted to a new position in Seattle. As Nick is their only relative left in the area, the grandparents do all they can to get him to stay.

What's Happening
News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
