My Big Gay Italian Wedding

ANTHONY PINNUNZIATO ‐ 20s‐30s male. Our every‐man. Pollyanna guido from Bay Ridge. LEAD
ANDREW POLINSKI ‐ late 20s‐30s male. Handsome and stylish, yet devoted to one man only. Dashing and charming. LEAD
ANGELA PINNUNZIATO ‐ late 40s female. A lovingly over‐bearing, over‐powering Italian mother hen. Rules the roost with an irori fist and a wooden spatula. Anthony’s mother. LEAD.
JOSEPH PINNUNZIATO/ FATHER ROSALIA ‐ late 40s male. Joseph is Anthony’s loud Italian father whose word is law and whose home is his castle. Father Rosalia is the crush of every parishioner, both male and female. Tries hard to resist the temptations of flesh, both male and female. Note: These two roles can be played by the same actor if needed. LEAD
MAURIZIO LEGRANDE ‐ late 20s‐40s male. Outlandishly dressed, over the top, flamboyant wedding coordinator. Has an accent that cannot be pegged down. LEAD
GREGORIO ‐ 20s ‐30s male. Smoking hot and extremely narcissistic. Does not take rejection well. Always has something up his sleeve. LEAD.

MARIA ‐ 20s female. Anthony’s flighty, heavy‐set, sweet and self‐absorbed baby sister. Aspirations of stardom, but a fizzled sense of reality. She is a Broadway actress wannabe and fancies herself a tremendous singer. SUPPORTING

AUNT TONIANN ‐ 30s‐early 40s female. Angela’s fussy younger Italian sister. Lives to torment her brother‐in‐law. Sports the biggest of hair and always (thinks she’s) dressed to the nines. SUPPORTING
FRANKIE ‐ late 20s‐late 30s male. Tough, good‐looking Italian stud. No‐nonsense, out, and proud. The straight acting gay guy in the bunch. Groomsman. SUPPORTING
