Two, autobiographical one-acts featuring
Ed Cornachio and Shelley Hartle
on Friday, December 10.
Join Ed and Shelley (players from WICA’s On Golden Pond) for
a laugh-filled evening at the Commons Coffeehouse.
The two will be reading from their memoirs about growing up
in two different immigrant worlds on the East Coast, one Italian and one German. Going Home runs approximately 90 minutes with one
10-minute intermission.
“Washington Slept Here,” is Hartle’s hymn to village life, with all the attendant problems of living in a fishbowl--where everyone knows everything about you and isn’t afraid to use it.
From dodging the tactics of Benedictine nuns to deconstructing her first kiss, Hartle tells all in this joyride of a chronicle--a celebration of life, love, and retribution on the bumpy road toward adolescence.
“The Passing of Two-Sewer Charlie,” is Cornachio’s fond look at simpler times, days of tears and laughter growing up in a boisterous,
extended Italian family in the New York City of 1944. While all of America is fighting the Germans in Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific, Cornachio is fighting the onset of puberty on Bay 40th Street
in Brooklyn, N.Y.
