WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Director Gordon Hunt (Mad About You, Frasier) brings us the madcap stage adaptation of Robert Klane's dark comedy classic, Where's Poppa?, the story of the hilariously eccentric Hocheiser family. The middle aged son's love life is constantly being ruined by his over-possessive and jealous mother. Unfortunately, he promised his dying father never to put Momma in a home. But when Momma's lovely new live-in nurse arrives, he resolves that his only chance for freedom is to scare his mother to death.
