RAISE ME UP – A World Premiere Romantic Comedy

True love wins out for Louis and Daphne PadulaLisa Phillips Visca’s RAISE ME UP – a true story about a “moonstruck†couple’s forbidden love, the hilarity and drama from their deeply passionate Italian-Greek families, and how they spent their last day on Earth together.

Set in Staten Island in the early 1950’s, RAISE ME UP reflects the post-war optimism of the generation’s youth, and how two of its members, the author’s parents, Louis and Daphne Padula, overcame the older generation’s traditional ethnic, nationalistic, economic, and religious divisions when they fell in love at first sight.

Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe in soul mates? Do you believe in eternal love? By the time the final curtain falls, you’ll believe even if you don’t already.
