In that most idealized period of 20th-century America, the Eisenhower years of the 1950s, 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 warm and hilarious look at family, growing up, and God.

The cast includes: Mark Anderson (Chet Pazinski), Karen Bessette DiOrio (Ellen Pazinski), JorDan Hamilton (Rudy), Amanda Lemire (Annie), Lydia Mattera (Sister Clarissa), Joshua Renaud (Georgie), and Adam Rezza (Eddie).

Theatre Works is located inside the Masonic Temple at 142 Clinton Street in Woonsocket, diagonally across from Standard Electric.
