In Philosophy for Gangsters, Mafia heiress Callie Rizzoli has her MBA. She's bringing modern business efficiencies to her Family operation. But when she kidnaps a philosopher and he shoots to Number one on the FBI's "Most Wanted List," things start to get hilariously complicated.

The creative team is comprised of Julia Noulin-Mérat (scenic design), Sarah Cogan (costume design), Carl Wiemann (lighting design), M. Florian Staab (sound design) and Lauren Genutis (properties). Jessica Pollack is Production Stage Manager.
