The Beauty Queen of Leeane
by Martin McDonagh
Directed by Peggy Mecham
Show times & ticket prices varied
In the isolated community of Connemara, County Galway, middle-aged Maureen lives a lonely, painful existence, catering to her demanding mother Mag’s every need. Their vicious sparring has reached a fever pitch. That is until the handsome Pato Dooley shows an interest in Maureen and a possible way out of her miserable circumstances. Unfortunately, Mag will stop at nothing to make sure Maureen’s dream never becomes a reality. This sets up a shocking chain of events leading to the play’s horrifying conclusion. Described by the New York Observer as a “gothic dark comedy,” McDonagh’s twisted tale is a must-see contemporary Irish classic.

This laugh out loud show gives us a snapshot into the darkly comic world of Shel Silverstein. It’s a world where nothing is as it seems and where the most innocent conversation can turn menacing in an instant. The five imaginative plays in this collection range widely in content, but the style is unmistakable. Starring: Jaylyn Anderson, Chelsea Gault, Joshua Hawkins, Esse Kaye, William R. McHattie, Teresa Nutter, Anna Pysher, Daniel Romano, and Browning Sterner.

james – A story of Love, Ambition, and Haberdashery
by Bruce Walsh
Directed by Russ Walsh
Show times & ticket prices varied
Do clothes make the man? Bookkeeper James Sweetbrier thinks they might. James is a loser. His daughter Rose is embarrassed by the way he dresses. Her school chums make fun of him. To please his daughter, James conspires to win the MaestroCard TapTacular television reality show with a grand prize of a custom-made designer suit worth $8000. James wins the suit, and at first all seems well in his world, but as the host of the show, the unctuous Dan Berry warns him, the TapTacular “burns like a mother.” James soon finds out just how much.
This fast-paced farce takes us on a hilarious journey behind the scenes of reality TV, as one man searches for lasting love and relevance in a world that values the flashy and superficial.
