Tomatoes on a Windowsill. One woman’s journey off the windowsill and into the sauce of life. This witty, thought provoking true life story will have you laughing, crying and sampling homemade sauce. From Backstage West Los Angeles, CA, “Andriello is believable as the inquisitive young child; convincing as the teenager finally breaking romantically and sexually free; persuasive as the mother of three at last pursuing a long-delayed operatic dream; hilarious and really kinda scary as the elderly but independent grandmother who would physically shake, mutter under her breath in Italian, and glare at you as if she were an ancient gypsy placing a curse on your head…. characterizations are clear and sharp and distinctly defined. Her gorgeous voice adds bonus points.” Tickets will sell out. $25 per person presell and $30 at the door. Center for Spiritual Living Kaua`i, 4-1579 Kuhio Hwy., Kapa`a. 7:30 p.m. both nights.
