We all have problems with our parents. Once Mom and Dad reach a certain age, the one thing everyone can agree on is that the parents drive us crazy. It's often been a topic in some of our most popular books, movies, and plays - some of them are great, some not-so-great. Others like Tina Howe's PAINTING CHURCHS, which opened Friday at the Park Square Theatre, are stuck firmly in the middle. Not bad, but not compelling enough to be great.
