![]() ![]() Second new feature is the addition of the winter tavern. I'll keep an eye on Discord and discussion boards to see if anyone is having problems I've done some bigger optimizations and I hope it's enough to support lifted limit for everyone. I had many people suggest that the limitation is removed and the only reason why I had it was to make sure game doesn't crash from having too many characters on the screen. Second big news is that the biggest update since initial release of the game is out! It includes 4 big things.įirst one is that I removed the customer limit of 750 customers per day. I am really eager to hear your opinion on the game and of course, suggestions and wishes on what I should implement :) If you like the game, I would really appreciate adding it to your wishlist and following. Forge everything from weapons and armor to tools and cooking utensils to fund your craft and become the Blacksmith Master. Manage your own medieval smithy in Blacksmith Master and supervise the entire process from mining ores and gems to designing and selling finished products. It's in the same universe as Tavern Master and I aim to introduce some new experimental features that I didn't include in Tavern Master. $10 student rush tickets are available for non-sold-out performances 15 minutes before curtain time.Hello everyone! There are 2 big news today :)įirst one is that I am finally ready to announce my second game called Blacksmith Master which I worked on for the past 8 months (one of the reason there were fewer Tavern Master updates). They can be obtained at the Geva Theatre Center web siteor by calling the box office at 585-232-GEVA. Over the Tavern is playing at Geva Theatre Center in Rochester February 15 - March 13, 2011. ![]() Rondeau for an especially funny and touching performance! There is no question, though, that the show was stolen by local actor Andrew Rondeau, who played Rudy's developmentally-disabled brother Georgie, and who himself who has Down syndrome. Cutts is temporarily replacing Arnie Mazer as Chet I thought he did a marvelous job). Other notable performances included Celia Howard as Sister Clarissa and Kevin Cutts as Chet Pazinski (Mr. The role of Rudy is aptly played by Forrest Gertin, a seventh grader at McQuaid Jesuit High School. However, this content means that Over the Tavern is therefore unlikely to be appreciated by young audiences. However, be forewarned: One of the funnier recurring bits involves Rudy's brother discovering the power of the "S-word."Īlso, the play acknowledges teens' interest in sex and romance it is addressed forthrightly, and, I was pleased to see, without a hint of the awful giggly quality with which sex is sometimes addressed (e.g., the musical Grease). Over the Tavern is, therefore, perfect for families whose preteens and teens are exploring issues of faith and maturity. So I had been particularly eager to bring Madison, who is interested in these issues as well as the role that philosophy and religion plays in everyday life. ![]() The play explored one of my pet interests: the need for kids to learn to think for themselves as they mature rather than passively accepting rules. It is, though, likely to make them think, between the giggles. What made it easier is that Rudy's incredulity is directed primarily toward the more-authoritarian strictures of pre-Vatican II Catholicism, so Over the Tavern is unlikely to offend contemporary audiences. WARM 101.3's Tony Infantino had talked about how his 91-year-old very-Catholic mother had seen Over the Tavern and enjoyed it very much, so I was particularly interested to see how the play would balance Rudy's exploration of the teachings of Catholicism without showing disrespect to the religion. We found it both gut-splittingly funny (especially for those of us with Polish roots) and touching by turns. I brought my 11-year-old daughter Madison, who is interested both in issues of religion and in what it means to follow rules, to the February 23 performance. Rudy, a seventh-grader attending a Catholic school under the strict tutelage (and ruler) of Sister Clarissa, starts to question the premises of the Catholicism that serves as the anchor of his ethnically Polish, blue-collar community. Over the Tavern is a coming-of-age story that takes place in Buffalo in 1959. ![]() Caught between the steely-glare of a righteous nun and the chaos of a dysfunctional family, what’s a boy to do? Faith, family, spaghetti and Ed Sullivan fight for space in a comedy for anyone who ever had a family.or survived one!
