On stage from Nov. 20-Dec. 21: Joe DiPietro’s warm, witty play Over the River and Through the Woods
A single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey, Nick still sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. Then he’s offered a dream job thousands of miles away in Seattle. This news doesn’t go over well with his grandparents. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick nearby. Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, including bringing to dinner the lovely Caitlin O’Hare as bait. Directed by Jeffrey Bracco, who also used to have dinner every Sunday night with his Italian-American grandparents (in San Francisco).

Our 2025-26 season:
After closing our hit fall show Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors, we bring you warmth, nostalgia, and a bit of well-meaning meddling in Over the River and Through the Woods. A deeply personal journey takes center stage in Running After Shadows, a moving solo play about the ghosts that follow us. Suspense ramps up with Dial M for Murder, a razor-sharp thriller packed with twists and turns. The season then ventures into technological territory in anthropology, an innovative new play delving into AI, memory, and the fragile threads of human connection. We wrap things up on a wildly inventive (and darkly hilarious) note with the TikTok musical favorite Ride the Cyclone.
Masks are recommended in the building, and required at select performances of each mainstage show. City Lights recommends but does not require the Covid vaccine and booster. We ask that if any patron is feeling unwell or has any concerning symptoms to please stay home. We’ll be happy to exchange tickets for another performance, free of charge. For more about City Lights’ Covid protocols, which may change at any time as the pandemic evolves, go to cltc.org/covid-protocols.
