Actor/writer Marco Greco recreates his fabulous solo show BEHIND THE COUNTER WITH MUSSOLINI, the critically acclaimed off-Broadway hit, out in Los Angeles, CA! It's the amazing story of "a young boy's journey  into manhood, behind the deli counter, under the shadow of a Calabrese dictator...his father!"

Marco Greco’s solo performance was well received when it played at the Tamarind in 1999, and he’s back and just as funny as ever. - Los Angeles Times -

When Michele "Mike" Greco began working behind the counter at this Arthur Avenue deli in 1949, he had no idea that one day he'd own it, make it New York's destination for fresh mozzarella, pass it on to his eldest son, Dave, or have it immortalized in Behind the Counter With Mussolini, a play by his younger son, Marco. Six days a week, Mike and Dave make 10 to 12 varieties of hand-pulled mozzarella, including fresh, dry, and smoked. When Dave took over the deli four years ago following his father's partial retirement, he expanded the family business by adding Arthur Avenue Catering. In addition to myriad mozzarella, Mike's Deli and Arthur Avenue Catering offer an outstanding selection of imported cheeses, sausages, homemade breads, pastas, olives, gift baskets, and platters.
