Over the Tavern -
This event will run
from June 30th
through July 12th.
The showings will be
Tuesday - Saturday
8:00p.m., Wednesday
and Friday 2:00p.m.,
and Sunday at
3:00p.m., at The
Mountain Playhouse
7690 Somerset Pike,
Boswell PA. The
Mountain Playhouse
is very pleased to
announce the
upcoming production
of Over the Tavern,
a wonderfully human
comedy about a
family growing up
over a tavern in
1959 working class
America. Centered
around 12-year-old
Rudy Paziniski, a
smart, wise-cracking
kid who is beginning
to question the
Roman Catholic
values he's being
taught at his
confirmation class
("I read there are
over 1,300 religions
in the world. I'd
like to shop
around"), Rudy sets
out to discover that
if God put people on
the earth to have
fun - as he believes
- why is it that his
family isn't having
any? A sure winner
for anyone who grew
up in the idealized
years of
Eisenhower's America
- or whose parents
did - this
touchingly human
comedy will keep you
laughing right along
with Rudy as he
struggles to find
the answers to life.

Based on the book
Seven and a Half
Cents by Richard
Bissell, The Pajama
Game centers around
a labor dispute
between factory
workers who demand a
raise of 7 & 1/2
cents per hour. When
complaint committee
head Catherine
"Babe" Williams and
new factory
superintendent Sid
Sorokin come face to
face in the midst of
the dispute, love
blossoms. The plot
unfolds with an
array of twists and
turns - at one point
factory workers meet
to discuss further
tactics, such as
miss matching sizes
of pajamas and
sewing the
flybuttons onto
pajama bottoms so
the pants are likely
to fall off - as
Babe and Sid
confront their love
for one another.
Don't miss this
romantic,
dance-filled,
comical musical.

8:00p.m., Wednesday
and Friday 2:00p.m.,
and Sunday at
3:00p.m., at The
Mountain Playhouse
7690 Somerset Pike,
Boswell PA. If
there is ever a time
not to take an
accidental double
dose of
tranquilizers, it
would be just before
taking the stage as
a famous opera
singer. But that's
exactly what happens
in the Tony Award
winning Lend Me a
Tenor written by
Mountain Playhouse
favorite Ken Ludwig.
This lively farce
revolves around
famed opera singer
Tito Merelli, whose
wife mistakes a
hidden autograph
seeker for a secret
lover just moments
before Merelli is to
take the stage at a
gala event. Her
'Dear John' letter
sets in motion a
series of double
entendres, plot
twists, quick exits
and innuendoes.
Translated into 16
languages and
produced in 25
countries, Lend Me a
Tenor is a farce not
to be missed.

on-stage accident

footstompin' gospel
jubilee - in the bar
where Darlene got
her start. Laughs
follow laughs when
it turns out
Darlene's ghost does
in fact haunt the
bar. What could be

"You're the Reason
Our Kids Are Ugly?"

Glass Menagerie
tells the story of
Tom Wingfield, his
mother Amanda and
his sister Laura,
who as a shy young
woman attracts few
suitors, to the
chagrin of her
mother Amanda. When
Tom relents to his
mother's requests
and brings home Jim,
a potential suitor
from his job at a
local warehouse,
Laura learns that he
is actually a man
she once had a deep
affection for as a
schoolgirl. The
evening involves a
furtive kiss, a slow
dance, and a broken
glass unicorn that
comes to symbolize
the loss that
underscores this
aching and haunting
classic.
