Joey & Maria's Comedy Italian Wedding is an interactive dinner theater show written by Darlyne Franklin. The actors add a healthy dose of improv to the script. Joey & Maria has played throughout the U.S. and overseas. Darlyne says, "It's no secret why everyone loves the quirky brand of nuptial nuttiness that is Joey & Maria. People like to be part of the show. They don't have to sit there quietly. They can drink. They can walk around. They can talk with their date."

featured on the TV game show Jeopardy.
Franklin's recent work includes The Biscotti Sisters and the Wicked Real Housewives of
Boston, which opened in the Boston area in 2010. “Housewives,” she says, "is an
en:rely new concept in interactive theater based on a mock reality TV show. It’s a show
within a show."
In October 2020, she won the 24-hour playwritng competion at the Laboratory Theatre in Ft.
Myers. Reviewer Tom Hall of ArtSWFL.com commented on her Burnt Toast script’s “smart,
snappy repartee and pithy comments made by characters about the situatoon in which they find
themselves.”
In Boston in the 1980's, Franklin helped pioneer reality television with two documentaries for
which she won Cablevision ACE Awards. One award was for a feature about The Cambodian
Refugees Journey to Boston. The other award was for "Most original TV series" for a before its time, reality show that
followed real-life dramas in the Massachusetts General Hospital emergency room, which
included Franklin trailing ambulances throughout the city.
Franklin studied theater at Emerson College and trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute,
the Groundlings, and Second City. In 2016 she completed the sketch writing and improvisation
programs at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles.
