Theatre Performance: “Dancing at Lughnasa” by Brian Friel - Mary L. Welch Theatre

Winner of the 1992 Tony Award for Best Play, Dancing at Lughnasa is the story of five unmarried sisters in rural Ireland, as told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the women. Though Michael was only seven in 1936, when the events of his memory occur, he guides us through this haunting tribute to the spirit and courage of the past — and through late summer full of mystery, music, nostalgia, and bitter truths. Directed by C. Austin Hill, tickets are available from the Box Office two weeks before the show date.
