Over the Tavern

September 6 -- October 1, 2006

The Pazinski Family of Buffalo, New York are (back row from left to right) Tammy Carder as Ellen and Mark Zimmerman as Chet and (in the front row from left to right) Brian Jackson as Eddie, Daniel Rylander as Georgie, Benjamin Fortin as Rudy, and Amanda Horseman as Annie.

A hilarious and heart-warming

coming-of-age story!

What do you get when you throw a bright and wise-cracking 12-year-old boy into a horn-locking theological battle with a 70-year-old, no-nonsense nun? It’s a nostalgic and hilarious look back at a Catholic upbringing in the 1950s that’s sure to warm the heart!
