Elva Mai Hoover: 
My name is Elva Mai Hoover, and I’m playing Aida and Aida is a grandmother of the young man in the piece, whose name is Nick – one of the grandmothers because my confrere here is playing the other.
Valerie Boyle: 
Confrere!
Elva Mai Hoover: 
Yes!
Valerie Boyle: 
I’m a confrere!
Elva Mai Hoover: 
And Aida’s whole life – the way Aida shows her love is through food. You may not be hungry… but you have to eat in order to let me know that you understand that I love you. A little convoluted, but that’s where she’s coming from sort of, you got to eat the food to show the love. 
Valerie Boyle: 
I’m Valerie Boyle and I play Emma. She’s married to Nunzio, she’s a grandmother and she loves her family, she loves her Nick. Her Nick means everything to her, he’s her grandson, and he visits every single Sunday.
Elva Mai Hoover: 
The family motto is ‘Tengo famiglia!’
Valerie Boyle: 
Tengo famiglia!
Elva Mai Hoover & Valerie Boyle: 
It’s all about the family. 
Elva Mai Hoover:
That’s what you’re here for. You work to earn a living.
Valerie Boyle: 
Tengo famiglia!
Elva Mai Hoover:
Tengo famiglia!
Valerie Boyle: 
People who care are important.
Elva Mai Hoover:
And that’s the essence of our play
Valerie Boyle: 
That’s right! That is the essence of the play!
