Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the Rivers and Through the Woods is a warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks, brought to you by TAPA and Grocery Outlet of Tillamook.
Over the River and Through the Woods runs May 2nd – 18th. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:00 pm, Sunday shows start at 2:00 pm. Tickets available online here!
Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida, but that doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is the routine until he has to tell them he’s been offered his dream job as a marketing executive, that will take him to another state. He tells them…and the news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray his family’s love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely—and single—Caitlin O’Hare as bait…but we won’t give the ending away here.
Join TAPA for Gala Night on May 2nd to celebrate the show’s opening! Each ticket includes a complimentary beverage of your choice and a delicious spread of hors d’oeuvres.
