Following the record-breaking tenth season, Award-winning Mosaic Theatre is proud to announce that Eric Simonson's Lombardi will feature television star Ray Abruzzo in the lead role of Vince Lombardi in the first production of this play in the Southeast US.

"We are incredibly excited and fortunate to bring the talents of Ray Abruzzo to Mosaic," says Executive/Artistic Director Richard Jay Simon. "We expect big things in our second decade and look forward to expanding our national identity. I grew up watching Mr. Abruzzo on TV and am a huge fan of The Sopranos and The Practice. This is a very exciting time for Mosaic Theatre and South Florida audiences. We will be having six performances per week instead of the usual five to accommodate demand."

Ray Abruzzo is noted for his regular appearances in The Sopranos ("Little Carmine" Lupertazzi), The Practice (Detective Michael McGuire), and Dynasty (John Zorelli). Other TV credits include Falcon Crest, Murder She Wrote, L.A. Law, House M.D., Night Court, NYPD Blue, Lois & Clark, Law & Order and CSI: NY. Stage Credits include Quake at Hollywood's Open Fist Theatre and Mauritius at The Pasadena Playhouse.

Playing opposite Mr. Abruzzo as Marie Lombardi will be multiple Carbonell Award Winner and Silver Palm Winner Laura Turnbull. Further casting details will be announced shortly.

The play takes place mostly in November of 1965, when a young journalist from New York City comes to live with the Lombardi family in order to write a story. Individual tickets are now on sale and we strongly recommend that you buy tickets now as this production will sell out quickly.
