Mister L’s is a popular restaurant and Mob hangout in Yonkers. It’s operated by Charles Liberti. Charles lives the life of a “Made Man” without being officially made. In Mob lingo, a “Made Man” is a man who is a full member of the Mob. “Buttons” and all. The Mob will never let Charles be a made man because his mother was Jewish. His status will peak as almost made.

 

Like all young boys who worship their father’s, Louie Liberti sees his dad, Charles,  as a larger-than-life character. Charles had the charm of a Sinatra, the class of a Di Maggio and the toughness of a Marciano. He is the most important man in Louie’s life.

 

Admired as a hard worker, Charles gives in to certain excesses that will earn him the disapproval of the Mob, the law and ultimately his family!  To earn his father’s approval, Louie gets involved with certain financial improprieties ensuring his own trouble with the law.

 

Louie eventually finds a better path for himself to travel. The memory of his father still casts a long shadow.

 

As Louie observes, you have to dig deep to bury your father. His quest to become his own man will ultimately take him to a little village in Italy on the Amalfi coast.

 

Almost Made is written and performed by Louie Liberti. Directed by Richard Israel.


Ages: 12 to Adult.

BWW Spotlight Series: Meet Suzanne Mayes, a Native Angeleno Who Went from Future Astronaut to Shining Onstage
May 07, 2020

With the current theatre world on hiatus, I have created a Spotlight Series on Broadway World which features interviews with some of the many talented artists who make our Los Angeles theatre community so exciting and vibrant thanks to their ongoing contribution to keeping the Arts alive in the City of the Angels. And just like all of us, I wondered how they are dealing with the abrupt end of productions in which they were involved. This Spotlight focuses on Suzanne Mayes, who started out thinking she would pursue the stars as an astronaut and wound up shining onstage!
