“Be anything but a baker” became the echoing advice that defined John II’s upbringing. Raised in a tight-knit Italian American family he was well aware, by age 7, of the leading role he would fill in the generational business that his grandfather built in 1923. Embracing the part, he’s anxious to carry the torch until, in an instant, life changes. As John II grapples with the legacy of his family’s bakery which is now the cornerstone of their community, and the unspoken dreams that will shape his life, the young man discovers one of the greatest secrets in life, transcending far beyond the flour-dusted countertops and aroma of freshly baked bread. Directed by Michael Matthews.

Running in tandem with Paul Linke’s 5pm performances of "It’s Only a Show!” on Saturdays.
Next up for the Ruskin Group Theatre, two shows in tandem – John Colella’s An Extraordinary Ordinary Man and Paul Linke’s It’s Only a Show!, both opening January 13, 2024. Got the chance to ask Ruskin’s producing artistic director Michael Myers a few questions on Ruskin’s current shows and early beginnings.
A long-time collaborator with Charles Nelson Reilly, Paul Linke has co-written It’s Only a Show!, performing as the popular comedian in his one-man tribute to Charles Nelson Reilly. This solo show directed by Edward Edwards opens January 13, 2024 at the Ruskin Group Theatre, 5pm curtain, in tandem with John Colella’s An Extraordinary Ordinary Man at 8pm. Paul managed to find some time before starting tech to answer a few of my queries.
