"You SURE have ability as a composer. Your tunes are -- here's a word we rarely
hear anymore -- catchy, and I'm delighted to have caught them."
-- Peter Filichia, www.masterworksbroadway.com

". . .eschews Andrew Lloyd Webber-ish excess for a more jazzy, low-key
approach, with plot lines concerning real people with real issues. . .
Particularly remarkable is [the authors'] ability to marry music
from several generations ago with themes and plot devices
that will hold the attention of a 2011 audience."
-- Dan Kunz, The Centre Daily Times


Libretto by Pamela Monk *** Music and Lyrics by Stacy Glen Tibbetts


Flamboyant radio talk show host Donna Corleone has always enjoyed the support of her loyal Brooklyn-Italian listeners. But just as her family advice show starts to founder, an old flame returns to the neighborhood, seeking to buy out her station and come between Donna and her business partners. Can Donna stop him? Can her wacky station crew save their own jobs? Not before timeless bonds of loyalty and community have been stretched to the limit -- and sometimes broken -- in this family-friendly new musical.

"In the end, it always comes back to a family. Always. And by a family, I mean a group of people who lives by the rules I am telling you about. That's how it is."
-- Donna Corleone, Dialing for Donna, WMFU, 86.2 FM
