ON BROADWAY World Premiere ON BROADWAY is a refreshing visit with real working class folk that reminds us of early John Sayles and John Turturro films. It is about how laughter helps us deal with loss. It's about the ties of family and the warmth of Boston's neighborhoods. It's about a young man with vision, and the guts to go for it. A father and son, and break down the wall that divides them. During the wake of Jack's godfather he hears the dead man's voice telling him to write a play. When nobody else will produce the play, Jack quits his job to produce it himself. With no money and just his gut to guide him, Jack mounts the play on the only stage he can afford: in the back room of a local pub...on a neighborhood street called Broadway. In this humble setting, Jack brings to life the play he sees in his heart - and brings together his family and friends. The journey brings a new beginning for Jack and his father, and a new realization for all of the power of a person with a dream.
