Tales From the Tavern is a hilarious one-man small-town comedy. It’s a delight for every audience and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any actor. You'll meet Earl and Otis and Len. Clendon and Phil. All three Stanleys. The Sweeney brothers and their sister LB—who might just be the best damn hockey player the town of Rosewood has ever seen.
Rosewood is every small town. The town you grew up in or passed through or know someone who lived there back in the day. It’s the town where the main street is called Main Street, where there’s one café and one tavern and one bakery and one bank – one funeral home, too, and that’s only open when Dougie the undertaker isn’t busy being Dougie the Mayor.
“Stanley’s is...well…it’s where our stories get told. Grandad’s and Pop’s and Clendon’s and mine. This place…this tavern…this is Rosewood.”
