when I was much much younger person	 	
one day after a big family gathering

and we were sort of recollecting the dinner	 	
and we were doing impressions	 	
and	 	
I don't know if we had done impressions prior to that	 	
or if we started that day	 	
but we were doing these impressions	 	
of each of our family members	 	
and we were cracking each other up	TEXT ON SCREEN: “Very funny!”

This a good table	 	
I thought there's something in this	 	
in this particular style of theater	 	
that I think would lend itself well	 	
to telling the story of my family

you know my dad would do his hair like John Travolta	 	
even when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s	 	
and then he would make my hair look like John Travolta	 	
every day before I went to school	 	
okay okay	 	
doing a one person show is so unique	 	
How come you disrespect your papa?	TEXT ON SCREEN: “Timoteo sings, dances, does more physical routines that the Cirque du Soleil, and more broad Italian accents than all three Godfather movies. The guy is incredible.”

but it's also exhilirating	 	
there's something about it that compels	 	
such a beautiful connection to the audience	 	
something like I've never experienced before	 	
the audience is very much a	 	
a part of this play they're at the dinner table with me	 	
and I'm direct with them	 	
and we're communicating one on one Italiano	 	
Italiano it is	TEXT ON SCREEN: “Exhuberant, dynamic and hilarious.”
