In 2016, at the age of 53, Eric Lanzieri wrote a book for the first time in his life. "A Story for Louise" describes the details of his paternal grandparents' emigration from Italy to Waterbury in the early 1900's, and his grandmother's return to her home town in 1946. The book explains the various circumstances which brought Eric there many years later culminating in a "miraculous coincidence" which allowed him to find his relatives. You can enjoy a delicious lunch and hear Eric's 2ND ACT story from 12 - 2pm in the intimacy of the Palace Theater's Poli Club.
Tickets are $25 ($20 for AARP or OLLI members) and include the luncheon. To purchase tickets call 203.346.2000, visit the Box office at 100 East Man ST or on-line at www.palacetheaterct.org. A Choice package for the five remaining monthly 2ND ACT presentations is also available for $100 and includes the meals.
