Synopsis: "King o the Moon transports the Pazinskis from the conservative 50s to the rebellious 60s. The new play has a greater urgency and sharper realism than its predecessor, as the adult Pazinskis tackle grown-up issues like divorce, remarriage, war and draft-evasion."
Alice T. Carter, InTheater Magazine

Synopsis: In "Lake Effect: Over the Tavern, Part III" we are reacquainted with the Pazinski family who has gathered, undaunted by heavy snowfall warnings, for the centennial celebration of their parish church, which has dominated and shaped their lives growing up on Buffalo's East Side. When the mayor announces a driving ban throughout the city, the Pazinski's find themselves trapped, forcing them to confront family issues through miraculous and comical mishaps. "Lake Effect" is an endearing story about an ordinary family that discovers the gifts of real love and commitment through extraordinary situations.

Synopsis: Called "one of the biggest grass roots successes in American regional theatres" by Chicago critic Chris Jones, "Over the Tavern" is a funny and heartwarming play that deals with a family growing up over the family tavern in 1959 working class America. Four children are caught between the claustrophobic authoritarianism of the Roman Catholic Church and an emotionally abusive father. Only their mother, with her good sense, sanity and wry humor, keeps this family afloat. At the center of the family is 12-year-old Rudy, a rebel and Ed Sullivan impersonator. 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!"
