Dina Morrone knows the story she wants to tell…
And although it may seem like the hysterical, melodramatic, irreverent one on stage, it’s actually much simpler. Morrone’s tale about her Italian family is a love story.
For this family the more things change the more they stay the same. #MOOSEONTHELOOSE #theater #theatre #review @GiaMedia3 @TheatreWest

On a mid-November morning in 1999, in Way Up Bay, Ontario, Canada, inside a small suburban bungalow on a cold and snowy day, a moose wanders into the neighbor’s yard of this Italian family and…come on! They’re Italian…of course chaos ensues!
