It’s a glorious, extravagant telling of Yann Martel’s best-selling novel (as adapted for the stage by Lolita Chakrabarti) For the rest see link below https://coolcleveland.com/2025/01/theater-review-life-of-pi-playhouse-squar…

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: COLLINGWOOD CENTER PRESENTS IMMERSIVE DINNER THEATRE CLASSIC, TONY 'N TINA'S WEDDING!
by The Millennial Theatre Company 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *January 14, 2025* Collingwood Center Presents Immersive Dinner Theatre Production of “Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding!” YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Collingwood Center in Campbell is excited to announce the Youngstown return of the hit, interactive, immersive dinner theatre event, Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, for two performances only, January 24 and 25 at 7:30pm at The Collingwood Center in Campbell (633 Porter Ave Campbell, OH 44405), with entertainment provided by The Millennial Theatre Company. Audience members are the guests at the nuptial celebration of Tony Nunzio and Valentina Vitale in all its tacky and hilarious glory. Following the church service is a reception where the audience joins the wedding party and their bickering families for a pasta dinner, champagne toasts, wedding cake, cookie tables, and dancing! Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding is a one-of-a-kind night of entertainment – an immersive comedy show, dinner theatre, and wedding all in one; all with a little Youngstown flair! You are invited to actively participate in all festivities: everyone is a welcome guest at the ceremony and reception, there’s real food, real dance, and real mingling with the cast of lovable characters! MTC Artistic Director Joe Asente states that MTC is excited to be involved with the Collingwood Center in this production, “We are excited to work with Collingwood Center to bring back this production that we first presented in 2023. For those unfamiliar with the production, you will arrive as a guest at the wedding and you will have individual interactions with many characters, and these interactions will vary depending on where you are and what you are doing. In all honesty, you could attend the show both nights and have two totally different experiences, just based on who you interact with and when during the show.” “You will begin in the ceremony and transition to the reception, and will experience everything that you would expect from a traditional Italian wedding ceremony, plus a lot of comical hijinx that I hope you would never have to experience at a real wedding. We encourage everyone to come dressed up, and ready to party. The more you interact, the more fun it will be!” Asente continued. The cast includes: Jenna Cintavey, Tommy DeLuca, Ben Doss, Lacey Farina, Courtney Martin, Brandy Johanntges, Tom Millsap-Kijauskas, Steve Millsap-Kijauskas, Tyler Moliterno, Brianna Rae Quinn, Andy Scott, John Schindell, Terry Shears, Ryan Stewart, Karlina Wander, Bri Wagner-Matijevic, and Rebecca Williams. Tickets start at $65 and include a full Italian wedding meal with desert and admission to the show. A full cash bar will be available. Tickets can be purchased at collingwoodcenter.com. Ticket sales close January 20.
