Photos: Circle Theatre Preps for KING O' THE MOON

The Pazinski family returns to Circle's stage in King O' the Moon by Tom Dudzick, the second play in a trilogy inspired by the author's childhood. Circle produced Dudzick's Over the Tavern in 2005 and The Last Mass at St. Casimir's in 2007. Ten years after Over the Tavern, this sequel takes place during the rebellious '60's as Apollo 11 is on its voyage to the moon. The Pazinski's come together as their lives seem to fall apart. Prior knowledge of this working-class family is not a prerequisite to appreciate the hilarious and heartfelt end to the three part series at Circle.

Tom Dudzick will conduct a Talk-Back following the Opening Night performance. This will be the playwright's sixth show produced at Circle Theatre.

Circle's production is directed by Harry Parker and features Diana Bloxom Barbaro** (reprising her role as Annie), Alexandria Fazzari (Maureen), Julienne Greer* (reprising her role as Ellen), David H.M. Lambert* (Walter), Kyle Montgomery* (Georgie), Jacob Oderberg** (Rudy), and Chris Rothbauer** (Eddie).

Circle Theatre's production team members include Megan Beddingfield* (Stage Manager/Prop Design), Clare Floyd DeVries (Set Design), John Leach (Lighting Design), David H.M. Lambert (Sound Design), Ryan Matthieu Smith (Costume Design), and Lydia Mackay (Fight Choreography).
