Wednesday, August 3, 2011 • Goderich Signal -Star 29 Italian Funerals & Other Festive Occasions speaks to all generations of theatregoers CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 27 W. Joseph Matheson is mesmerizing in his portrayal of a middle-aged man remi- niscing on the highs and lows of his past. Matheson evokes passion, intelligence and humour with undeniable stage presence. Portraying John as a sensitive child with a vivid imagination is Trek .Buccino. A talented young actor, Buccino complements a seasoned cast. Matheson and Buccino play off one another beautifully to convey a man who was clearly once a shy boy of 10 years old. Kathleen Sheehy gives an outstanding performance as John's Mama. From her epi- sodes with dementia to the lucid recollections, Sheehy is remarkably compelling on stage as a woman who gradu- ally becomes lost to her past. Angelo Celeste embodies warmth and decency as John's Dad, a simple barber whose family is everything to him. Sheehy and Celeste have a wonderful chemistry on stage and convey a couple truly in love. Michelle Fisk tackles the difficult role of John's stoic older sister Brigida. As the cornerstone that carries the weight of the family's trials and tribulations, Fisk delivers a magnetic performance. Elisa Atristain also gives a consummate portrayal of Brigida's daughter Andrea, a woman who masks her vul- nerability through a tough exterior. Atristain successfully balances her character's devo- tion to the family with her need for independence. Nada Ilumsi adds abun- dant levity to this story as the Grandmother who rules the family through intimidation. While she is utterly feared by Little Johnny, her character's also respected by the family and neighbours. Gerry Mendicino gives a vibrant portrayal of John's Uncle Dom, a dedicated fam- ily man who also possesses a dark side that stems from an obscure life of crime.Anne Louise Bannon is Aunt Mary, Dom's flamboyant wife. Ban- non is a perfect match for Mendicino, as they compete for Little Johnny's affection. Rounding out this impres- sive cast is Jill Diane Filion as the good-natured yet super- stitious neighbour who is admired for her sweet singing voice. Alan K. Sappereates a charismatic and imposing presence as Chief Townsend, trusted friend and confidante to John's Dad and Tim Koet- ting delivers a dynamic per- formance as the Man on Hes- ter Street, a powerful Mafia Don who is surprisingly sym- pathetic in nature. Set and Lighting Design by Stephen Degenstein creates the comfortable feel of the family home through each nostalgic scene. The Costume Design by Nicole Del Cul per- fectly conveys the era and Ital- ian -American setting of the production. Italian Funerals & Other Festive Occasions plays for two weeks only July 27 through August 6. `rickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office: (519) 238-6000 or toll free 1-855-drayton (372- 9866).
