The Sweepers

The West Coast premiere of John C. Picardi’s comic drama, part of a ten-play cycle about Italian-American life. Bella, Mary and Dotty have been friends and next door neighbors in Boston’s North End Italian neighborhood since childhood. It’s World War II, and husbands and sons are away fighting – bringing unsettling pressure to assimilate and change with the times on those who cherish traditions, values and cultural heritage.
