Press Release

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre

Presents   Over the Tavern

December 21, 2004 :  In the performing arts, Catholicism has taken a lot =
of hits over the years. Ruler-wielding nuns have become the well-used =
targets of everything from stand-up routines to movies. But sometimes =
appreciation can come from the least likely quarter, and such is the =
case with Tom Dudzick's Over the Tavern, an intelligently irreverent =
comedy about growing up Catholic in 1950s America. =20

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre has an excellent production that adeptly =
portrays both the humor and the drama in Dudzick's play; it takes its =
share of cracks at Catholicism, but ultimately makes a kind of peace =
with it.=20

That's not to say that Sister Clarissa is not armed with a ruler that =
she whacks across the knuckles of Rudy Pazinski, a 12-year-old with a =
particular knack for asking those prickly, eternal questions along the =
lines of why God allows suffering in the world if He's such a benevolent =
supreme being.

Aside from his genuine confusion, Rudy pulls off plenty of gags at the =
Church's expense. The punch-line style of the jokes echoes a sitcom, but =
not to the play's detriment. In fact, it's a fitting format, considering =
the play's setting in the '50s. But Over the Tavern noticeably departs =
from those unfailingly cheerful glimpses into American family life with =
plenty of insight into Rudy's family.=20
