They Knew What They Wanted

By Sidney Howard

Directed by Jason Compton

Sidney Howard's Pulitzer Prize-award winning stage comedy about vigor, valor, and vino, with more than a little spaghetti humor.

Aging winemaker Tony wants to marry Amy, a pretty, young San Francisco waitress. To skirt rejection, he sends his proposal with a photo of Joe, a young farmhand all the ladies go for. When Amy arrives on the scene and discovers the trick, it's only the beginning of the mayhem of good intentions but poor behavior.
