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.

Tina Howe's PAINTING CHURCHES opens March 5. When Mags (Angela Timberman), a New York City painter on the verge of artistic celebrity, returns home to help her aging, eccentric parents (Richard Ooms and Katherine Ferrand) pack up their Boston mansion, she suddenly sees them in a new light.
