Seven Angels Theatre kicks off their 21st season with another gem by Tom Dudzick (Miracle on South Division Street). Over the Tavern will run at the Waterbury theatre October 6- 30. The play takes place in 1959, the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo apartment. The youngest of the bunch, 12-year-old Rudy, is a smart, wise-cracking kid who’s starting to question family values and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion, all hell breaks loose. “A hilarious and touching depiction of 1959 Americana. Absolutely enchanting…a little bit of heaven!”—Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune
Seven Angels Theatre Artistic Director Semina De Laurentis commented, “We wanted to start with a fun play that would reflect the season. Everyone needs to come and enjoy this show with a fantastic cast.”
