Outside Mullingar Opening Night Festivities

Join the OpenStage Theatre family for a night of family feuds and laughter!

Get to the show early to listen to live Irish session music and enjoy a local beverage, with drink specials from local distillery Feisty Spirits! Music starts at 7:30 p.m.

The night won't end at final curtain call. Join the OpenStage stars at the after party at Mulligan's Pub, where the fun will continue! (free food, cash bar)

Outside Mullingar is an Irish comedy full of classic Irish banter and the kinds of drama one would expect from family rivals who have lived next door for generations.

Set in pastoral Ireland, we're feeling Irish a bit early this year.

Written by acclaimed author, John Patrick Shanley, author of Moonstruck and Doubt, this is a show not to be missed!

Freckled and fierce, Irish lass Rosemary (Jessica Emerling Crow) nurses a childhood grudge against her slow and socially awkward neighbor, Anthony (Todd Hoven) in this Tony-nominated play about a generations-old land dispute. In the face if an impending land sale, the pastoral-countryside ignites into an argument that is anything but neighborly. With an ailing widower (Bruce K. Freestone) after a piece of disputed turf and a tremulous widow (Denise Burson Freestone) trying to keep  a leash on her admittedly crazy daughter, feelings and fur will fly in this unlikely love story.

Playing Jan 9th- Feb 6th @ The Lincoln Center.
Tickets: $12-24 available at lctix.com or by calling 970.221.6730.
