Tom Dudzick's OVER THE TAVERN
Called "one of the biggest grass roots successes in American regional theatres" by Chicago critic Chris Jones. A funny and heartwarming play that deals with a family growing up over the family tavern in 1950's working class America.
At the center of the family is 10-year-old Rudy. 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!"
