The dates listed are for garlic mustard pulls at the parks. Call to sign up. You will be called with details about each work session.

Friday and Saturday: 8:00 p.m.; Sunday matinee: 2:00 p.m.
Location: Encore Theatre.
Over the Tavern by Tom Dudzick.
In that most idealized period of 20th century America, the Eisenhower years of the 50's, 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. 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. A warm and hilarious look at family, growing up and God.
Cost: Regular Adult: $13; Senior: $11; Student to age 18: $8.
