Mulberry Street

Written in 1927 by Nicholas Cosentino, the earliest Stamford production (we know of) was in 1939. Since then, the play has been adapted by former Kweskin Theatre Artistic Director, Albert Pia, and was produced every five years, in various locations throughout Stamford, until finding its home at The Sterling Farms Theatre Complex, in the early 1970’s. One production of it even transferred to an off-off Broadway theatre in the early 1980’s, where it played for a summer.

The story revolves around an immigrant family, living in a basement apartment on Mulberry Street, Little Italy, New York, in the 1930’s and features a son, trying to woo a “Park Avenue” girl, a daughter looking for a husband, a bunch of crazy neighbors and a mother & father trying to hold it all together in their own dysfunctional way! Full of laughs and a few poignant moments as well, Mulberry Street is great for the whole family.
