By Brian Friel
Directed by Jordan Hunt
Set in the fictional Irish village of Ballybeg, Ireland, DANCING AT LUGHNASA is a memory play, told from the perspective of the adult narrator, Michael Evans. He recalls one summer he spent at his aunts’ home when he was seven years old. It was the summer of 1936 and young Michael watches as his aunts search for and find the potential for love–only to lose it as the hardships of life begin to cripple them. Brian Friel’s multi award-winning play is a masterpiece, portraying the strength and bravery of five sisters who dance wildly in a final celebration of their lives, before they change forever.
The Friday, November 9 performance is SOLD OUT. A waiting list for any returned tickets will begin at the ticket office one hour prior to the curtain time.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a delectable sci-fi horror musical with an electrifying 1960’s pop/rock score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. Seymour Krelborn is a meek and dejected assistant at a floral shop who happens upon a strange plant, which he affectionately names “Audrey II” after his crush at the shop. Little does he know that this strange and unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B voice, a potty mouth, and an unquenchable thirst for human blood! As Audrey II grows bigger and meaner, the carnivorous plant promises limitless fame and fortune to Seymour, as long as he continues providing a fresh supply of blood. Just when it’s too late, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s extra-terrestrial origins and his true drive for world-domination.
