Beautiful: “small, but mighty,” your Aunt Barb says. I went into the service. Fina got married, had kids. I sold sausage ‘round the USA. We all make our choices! Lotsa years passed. Her husband bought the farm and Fina and I had 16 more years together before she went to a better place in 2011. Sheesh. Her grandson, Andy Boy—Italian guy, good lookin’—wants to know more about her, so I told him to bring you over for my sauce and stories! Aunt Barb and Nurse Nancy’ll be there, too. You gotta let me know beforehand you're comin', though. We’ll sit around my table: a pasta meal, a lovely show, a belly laugh, and off you’ll go!</span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Tickets $30 each, including meal*</span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">Highly limited seating!</b> <b class="">Seats must be purchased at least one day in advance!</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><b class=""><span style="text-decoration: underline; -webkit-font-kerning: none; color: rgb(71, 135, 255); -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(71, 135, 255);" class=""><a href="http://www.raycaspio.com/uncletoots" class="">http://www.raycaspio.com/uncletoots</a></span><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""> or (440) 50T-OOTS to buy your seats at the table!</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">—————</span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">This performance piece was developed as part of the LAUNCH performance creation residency program of the Community Engagement & Education Department at Playhouse Square, Cleveland, Ohio.</span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Thanks to Cleveland Opera Theater for the generous donation of the performance space.</span></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">The Creative Workforce Fellowship is a program of the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture.
