Private Project

St. Joseph

St. Joseph is a zany short comedy set in the suburbs of New Jersey involving two very different Italian families that live across the street from each other. Donna’s house is immaculately kept inside and out. Elaine and Doug are more interested in going camping then caring about the appearance of their house. Donna obsesses on the hopes they would move out. Then her mother-in-law Virginia gives her an idea that turns into a happy chaos in the neighborhood.

Director Statement

I had this idea to write, and direct a comedy called St. Joseph while I was going through treatment for Breast Cancer. Always trying to stay positive, I am so proud to say, less then a year out of treatment, my dream has come to life. I hope to be an inspiration to those facing health struggles of their own. To never give up their dream, and just do it. The world needs more laughter.

Quote from one of my favorite Directors:

"What fun!!! Really well conceived and really fun. Funny performances. Original across the board. Congratulations."
....Director Tim Busfield
