Schooling Giacomo

Written and directed by Award-winning playwright
Richard Edwin Knipe, Jr., Schooling Giacomo is a bittersweet comedy that travels back and forth in time between the summer of 1970 and today.

Set in The Bronx, the play captures the rich and flavorful history of an ethnically mixed child who was raised by three know-it-all Italian uncles, a neighborhood wise guy and a drunken Irish/German mother. Now a single father and school teacher, he realizes the true value of his education in the school of hard knocks for both him and his daughter.
