Dancing at Lughnasa

by Brian Friel

October 31 &

A haunting beautiful play, Dancing at Lughnasa has been produced around the world since its Dublin premiere in 1988, winning both London's Olivier Award and New York's Tony Award as best play of that year. Brian Friel is recognized as Ireland's leading contemporary playwright, and in this gentle memory play he examines the joys, laughter and the sadness of growing up in rural Ireland. Musical, nostalgic and loving, Dancing at Lughnasa examines the small events, moments, and memories that give shape to our lives. Pictures Coming Soon!

Twelfth Night

by William Shakespeare

April 3,4,6,7

Some plays are born great, others achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. All of the above apply to Shakespeare's wonderful comedy Twelfth Night. Classic characters like Malvolio and Sir Toby Belch combine with mistaken identities and misunderstood love in one of the Bard's most popular plays.
