On July 20th, 1969, a Sunday in the United States, Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin occupied and powered up the lunar module, Eagle, and deployed its
landing legs. As the probes beneath three of Eagle's four footpads touched
the lunar surface, a light flashed on the instrument panel. The world heard
Armstrong's quiet message:
"Houston. Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
Where were you at that historic moment? Can you remember? Well the Pazinski
family, famous for their hilarious exploits in "Over The Tavern", were in
their backyard, hudled around a small TV set in their tavern window, and
this weekend is the LAST chance you can join them and relive the moment for
yourself!

Come one, come all to see the critically acclaimed second part in the saga
that won Chagrin Valley Little theater several awards at the Ohio Community
Theater Awards in 2005!
In "Over The Tavern", the first part in the Pazinksi family trilogy, we
watched the Pazinski family navigate the conservative 1950s, in which Mom
(Ellen) and Dad (Chet) try to cope with the antics of four teenagers while
running the family tavern. Eddie, was finding his way into adulthood, Annie,
experienced the first pangs of young love, Rudy persisted in questioning
everything about his Catholic upbringing, and who can forget the loveable
Georgie and all of his hilarious antics?
In "King O' The Moon", we re-join the the Pazinskis ten years later in 1969.
Chet has passed away, leaving Ellen to run the tavern along with his best
friend Walter Fronzak. Eddie has been drafted, which is in direct opposition
to brother Rudy, who is in the seminary, and, being his young, inquisitive
self, gets involved in peace rallies. Annie is competing with electric
trains for attention from her husband and Georgie has developed a rather
interesting new system for handling the U.S. Mail.
Playwright Tom Dudzick, who has been called the "Neil Simon of the Catholic,
Polish-American working class", handles topics of religion, war, divorce and
finding love again with the same humor and fond jabs at growing up Catholic
which made "Over The Tavern" a hit with audiences both local and nationwide.
You are guaranteed to leave with good feelings and a warm connection to all
the members of this interesting, sensitive, humorous and colorful family.
The show has played to several amazing audiences so far, who found it nearly
impossible not to laugh, cry, and live along with the Pazinskis, who remind
us all that our families aren't the only ones with problems. The best part
is you need not have seen "Over The Tavern" to enjoy this great show!
