Location: Cusumano’s, 7147 Manchester Road, Maplewood

A smart and provocative play that combines comedy with tragedy as it peers into the lives of a group of 32-year-olds who are looking for meaning in their sad, predictable lives.
Set in Cusumano’s, a late night neighborhood bar in Maplewood, audience members will get to join the characters as they find courage and solace in alcohol.
This is OnSite Theatre Company’s first production of an existing play, and we are excited to be bringing this very successful show to St. Louis audiences. Cusumano’s is a perfect stand-in for the play’s original setting of a neighborhood bar in the Bronx.
The story features 5 characters, each with their own “issues”, who happen to be regulars at this bar. Throughout the evening, the characters joke, quarrel, proposition, and reject each other. Will their lives change, or will they be left in limbo?
