Set in the Roaring Twenties, this light-hearted comedy is actually as family-friendly as they come. Everything’s coming up roses for gangster Primo Malvone in 1920s Chicago — or so his wife Isabella thinks. She’s under the impression that Primo finally got out of “the business” to become a florist! But he’s in deeper than ever — his accountant has disappeared with $50,000, rival mob boss Mama Mia wants a meeting, and important businessman Rico Linguini is in town looking for a new supplier. When Isabella’s famous opera singer brother comes to town, she decides to throw him a party and sends Primo’s henchmen off to get flowers from the warehouse. Making things even worse for Primo, Isabella then invites Mama Mia and her thugs to the party, and the conniving Mama Mia turns around and invites the cops! Meanwhile, Primo’s three daughters and the missing accountant hatch a plot to make Primo get out of “the business” and go straight, once and for all. No shooting, no drinking, no gambling — just fun colorful characters, slapstick comedy and a surprise ending that everyone will love!

This play was one of the funniest plays we have ever done! It’s easy to stage; lots of room for your students to stretch and build their characters and practice accents if they want. The storyline will keep your audience laughing at every turn. We ended up with standing room only on the last night since word had spread that Pistols and Posies was hysterical!
