STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Wedding bells will ring this month as “My Big Gay Italian Wedding” resumes live performances in New Jersey.
After being shutdown for more than a year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Avenel Performing Arts Center will host live productions of the show from April 29 through May 8.
The eccentric comedy, written by Grant City playwright/actor Anthony J. Wilkinson, first opened off-Broadway in 2003 at Actors’ Playhouse in Greenwich Village before moving uptown to Theatre Four in the spring of 2004. In 2009, the show moved to the St. Luke’s Theater, where it played until 2015.
