WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Cliplight Theater and Theatre at Saint Clement's present Levittown, written by Marc Palmieri and directed by George Demas.
Kevin Briggs, the grandson of a decorated World War II veteran and FDNY Captain, returns early from college to learn that his sister Colleen -- after some trying times -- is about to be married. As the family celebrates the upcoming wedding, Kevin attempts to complete this happiness by reconciling his sister with the abusive father who left them years before. Amidst the thin walls of their home, the members of this family are forced to confront a concealed history, the self-destructive nature that has plagued them for generations, and the failure of the tidy truths onto which they have desperately held... in Levittown.

In his new play Levittown, Marc Palmieri questions old assumptions about what went on in these cookie-cutter households. While this drama suffers severely from structural problems, it ultimately remains somewhat powerful in examining how dysfunctional families are far from "just the same," no matter how similar their physical surroundings.
Palmieri focuses on three generations of the Maddigan clan, as seen in 1999: There's war[...]
