The first in a trilogy of plays about the Pazinski family, Over the Tavern is set in Autumn 1959. The idealism of the decade is starting to fade, which in many ways mirrors what’s going on in the Pazinski family’s Buffalo apartment: father Chet is burned out, mom Ellen is facing the challenges of motherhood, and their four kids are facing their own challenges. With easily-recognizable characters and relatable family drama, Tom Dudzick’s comedy-drama is a popular staple of community and regional theatres around the United States.
