Over the Tavern has
been called "one of the biggest grass roots
successes in American regional theatres" by Chicago critic Chris
Jones.
Over the Tavern
is a funny and heartwarming play that deals with a family
growing up over the family tavern in 1959 working class Buffalo.
Four children are caught between the authoritarianism of the
Roman Catholic Church and an emotionally abusive father. Only
their mother, with her good sense, sanity and wry humor, keeps
this family afloat. At the center of the family is 12-year-old
Rudy, a rebel and Ed Sullivan impersonator. Rudy goes knuckle to
ruler with his formidable teacher, Sister Clarissa, questioning
everything and claiming that God put us on earth to have fun.
Only weeks away from his confirmation, Rudy proclaims, "I read
where there are over thirteen hundred religions in the world.
I'd like to shop around!"
