Set in the fictional, Italian town of Cantantina, the village has been hard hit by tough economic times. In the face of hardship, the younger villagers want to leave the traditional way of life to seek their fortune in the modern, more prosperous cities. A National cooking contest is announced where the winner will be deemed to have the best true Italian dishes in all of Italy.
The villagers view this as the perfect opportunity to put Cantantina back on the map, keep the new generation in town and bring prosperity back to the village. One problem… Can they convince Mama Fina (Shawn Robertson) to cook for Don Stromboli (Ray Smoyer) the food critic and make her secret sauce for the contest? Mama Fina has always said that she only cooks for love and family and not for the glory, but will she cook to save her town?
Various characters try to persuade Mama Fina to participate in the contest including, Giuseppe (Mason Winslow), Pitzella (Danielle Sedler), Big Calzone (Sean O’Brien) and her own daughter Francesca (Sadie O’Keefe) who views the contest as a way to save her husband’s struggling business and keep them from leaving the town. Everyone gets involved, camera crews come to town, villagers trip over themselves to please Don Stromboli but will it be enough to make Cantantina the gastronomic capital of Italy? We hope you enjoy a plethora of Italian food terms, animated singing and a wonderful message for the Holidays – When family and community come together, the PASTAbilities are endless.

Golden Clipboard Award!

The Highest Achievement Award recognizes students who challenge themselves, inspire audiences and demonstrate a commitment to Theater Workshop. It is awarded for excellence both on stage and off stage. Awarded to students who masterfully apply direction, develop the craft of character-making, consistently raise the criteria for storytelling, and for outstanding cooperation and collaboration.
The Spirit Award recognizes students who have found an individual way to express, invest, endure, and triumph. This year's graduating class we believe has shown amazing spirit. They courageously faced the challenges and obstacles this season has presented and serve as a true positive example for all other casts in the future. We at Theater Workshop want to congratulate each and every one. 
The Workshop Arts Inc. Video Awards were in part sponsored by a grant from the Essex County Community Foundation.
