In the endearing last chapter of the Over the Tavern trilogy of plays, it's the end of an era in a working-class Catholic neighborhood, and the Pazinski clan has gathered to say their final goodbyes to their recently-sold childhood home. But when an unexpected blizzard compels the mayor to announce a driving ban throughout the city, they're trapped together in their old house, forced to confront and resolve lingering family issues -- albeit through miraculous and comical mishaps. Through all their trials and misfortune, the Pazinski family finally discovers the gifts of real love.
"A three-tissue comedy. You don't have to be Catholic to like this one. You just have to have lived in a family."
