REALITY THEATER: Buon Natale, Bruno is a solo show written by Terianne Falcone and directed by Gary Austin. The piece is composed of characters taken from local news headlines, making each as realistic as our neighbors we encounter daily. The play centers on Bruna, a brutally honest older Italian woman who lacks an iota of self-consciousness. Through Bruna's observations we meet her tenants, whose lives are as roller-coaster-like as her own. There is no voting off the stage, devouring of grotesque substances, or catty arguments -- just a peek behind the closed doors of everyday people ... as real as it gets.
