Marco, 12, is obsessed with his iPad and hardly leaves the house. But when his grandmother dies and his grandfather moves in, Marco's life is turned upside-down and he's forced...to go play outside. "Nonno" (Grandpa) introduces him to bocce ball and to the neighborhood crew of old Italian men who play daily at the local court. With sport, laughter and love, Marco finds connection to other people and rounds up a team of neighborhood kids to take on Marco's grandfather and his pals.

Candice Guardino's Italian Bred is a critically acclaimed, hilarious, and heartwarming comedy based on her real life. With sold-out shows nationwide, she brings bold family characters to life through songs and storytelling. A must-see celebration of family!
