The Racine Theatre Guild is performing, 'King O' the Moon' on weekends through Nov. 11. Here's the summary:
Remember the Pazinski family from Over the Tavern, where the young boy, Rudy, questioned his Catholic faith and one nun in particular? Even if you missed it, and regardless of your ethnic and religious roots, you’re sure to enjoy this visit 10 years later. Believe it or not, Rudy’s in seminary. As Apollo 11 lands on the moon in 1969, the Pazinskis gather in fond memory of their cantankerous dad. Despite secrets, problems and differences, they stick together and share lots of laughs.
This is a laugh-out-loud comedy that manages to tug at the heartstrings and dig into the issues of the tumultuous ’60s. It was directed by Norm McPhee, former managing and artistic director of the Racine Theatre Guild for 32 years. The cast includes Scot Johnson, Matt Specht, Jamie Johnson, Denise Denault, Chris Heilgeist, Joe Mooney, and Douglas Kramer. Cindy David is production stage manager. Steve Krempasky designed the set.
