Join us for a captivating journey back to the 1930s with "Dancing at Lughnasa," a lyrical and effervescent portrayal of five fierce sisters navigating the joys and sorrows of life in rural Ireland. Directed by Joe Dowling and penned by the acclaimed Brian Friel, this Tony and Olivier-award winning memory play is a modern classic that vividly captures the essence of family loyalty, hard work, and the spirit of celebration amidst life's challenges.

Set against a backdrop of a town scandal, uncertain employment, and the clash between ancient traditions and Catholic expectations, the story unfolds with music and memory, leading up to the annual harvest festival of Lughnasa. It's a testament to the power of theater to transport us, as noted by the New York Times for doing "exactly what theater was born to do."
