Dudzick went on to create what Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune called, “one of the biggest grass-roots successes in American regional theatre of the last few years.”  Jones was referring to Dudzick’s Over the Tavern Trilogy, a semi-fictional trio of comedies based on his early family years in Buffalo, NY.  The first of the trilogy, Over the Tavern, has broken box office records all over the country, run for over a year in Chicago and garnered critical praise such as: “Utterly charming!” from Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times, and “Absolutely enchanting...a little bit of heaven!” from Richard Christiansen of the Chicago Tribune.  Parts 2 & 3 of the trilogy are entitled King o' the Moon and The Last Mass at St. Casimir's.

“Hail Mary!” was Dudzick’s next play, about a 21^st century parochial school novice whose jeopardizes her future as a nun  by daring to take religion into her own hands and teach the children her personal, unorthodox views of God.  It premiered at Buffalo’s Studio Arena Theatre.

His next play, a backstage comedy called, “Don’t Talk to the Actors,” just recently received both East and West Coast premieres and garnered such accolades as “drop-dead, scream-out-loud, tear-wrenchingly funny,” (Buffalo News) ...“unstoppable laughter,” (Cypress Chronicle) and “hilarious show-biz farce.” (Event News, Cal.)
