FREEZE FRAME: Meet the Cast of DINNER WITH THE BOYS, with Dan Lauria

DINNER WITH THE BOYS - a new play by the beloved actor and writer Dan Lauria (LOMBARDI, "The Wonder Years" and "Sullivan & Son")- will be given its Off-Broadway debut this spring at the Acorn Theatre at Theater Row (410 W. 42 St.) in New York City, with preview performances starting April 21 prior to an official opening night on May 4, it has been announced by the play's producer Pat Addiss.

Mr. Lauria stars in DINNER WITH THE BOYS - along withRay Abruzzo ("The Sopranos") and Richard Zavaglia(DONNIE BRASCO). The production is directed by Frank Megna.

DINNER WITH THE BOYS is a comedy about two wise guys from the old neighborhood who find themselves at odds with the family and must serve up perfectly seasoned results with their puttanesca in order to escape danger themselves. As they await their own fate in 'the wilds of New Jersey,' this Italian odd couple reflects on their days of glory while preparing dinner for special guests, all the while wondering, "will this meal be their last supper?"

DINNER WITH THE BOYS was most recently presented to considerable acclaim at The New Jersey Rep in Long Branch.

DINNER WITH THE BOYS has scenic by Jessica Parks; costume design by Patricia E. Doherty; lighting design by Jill Nagle; and sound design by Matt Kraus.
