Outside Mullingar
By John Patrick Shanley
Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits who despite mutual attraction, cannot seem to get together. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny as hell, and deeply moving. OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

The Fantasticks
Book & Lyrics by Tom Jones
Music by Harvey Schmidt
The Fantasticks is a funny and whimsical musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. A moving tale of young lovers who seek the world of adventure, is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become classics. The narrator, El Gallo, sings “Try to Remember…” and asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic.
The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world: its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication carries a purity and simplicity that transcends barriers. The result is a timeless fable that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike
By Christopher Durang
In this hilarious spin on contemporary families, playwright Christopher Durang takes Chekhov characters and themes, mixes them up and puts them in a blender. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia have never left their family home, and they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, and new threats to sell the house. A blend of sibling rivalry and absurdist farce - it is the messy, enduring bonds of family, the ache of change, and the small, stubborn joys that keep us going. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.
