The John W. Engeman Theater Presents SHUT UP SIT DOWN & EAT This Father's Day

By:

Give DAD a GOOD laugh for Father's Day with SHUT UP SIT DOWN & EAT® America's first plomedy! a.k.a. Stai zitto siediti e mangia - It combines the wit of stand-up comedy, the in- tensity of a one-man show and the format of an innovative Off-Broadway play.

When a therapist fails to arrive on time for a group therapy session, four impatient Italian-Americans take their issues into their own hands and invent a new type of therapy - Italian therapy! Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of laughter, insight and revelation. Come join us for a unique event of hilarious dysfunction - Italian style!

The play is written and performed by four outstanding, seasoned, New York comedians. It features the comedic styles of Tina Giorgi, Joe Moffa, Chris Monty and Eric Tartaglione. The plomedy is also blessed to have the talent- ed director, Tom Ingegno, behind the scenes. It began its theatrical run to rave reviews. If you're tired of the typical and really need a good belly laugh, then come visit us for 90 minutes of fun and laughter.
