| Apr 16 - 18, 2010 | Death by Dessert, Mystery Hors d' Oeuvres Theater - Francisco Center for the Performing Arts
Its dinnertime, and you're invited to a meal so good, it's to die for! In New York's little Italy, the Donnaducce family and the Duccedonni family have been feuding for a generation, while operating two competing Italian restaurants that share a common wall. At rise, the building's landlord is dead at center stage, and everyone is suspect - from the old-world Italian grandmother and mafia don grandfather to the passionate chefs and bumbling wait staff. www.lavetatheater.org |
