The Beauty Queen of Leenane
May 10-12, 17-19, 2013
Dark Comedy by Martin McDonagh
Directed by John Roche
This hilariously horrifying dark-comedy centers on Maureen Folan (Abby Murphy), a beaten-down, fortiesh spinster living in literal and figurative discomfort, with Mag (Janet Lockwood), her passive-aggressive, harridan of a mother in County Galway, Ireland in 1989. Emotional and physical one-upmanship ensues when their lives are touched by two brothers, Pato (Blake Bowen) and Ray (Joseph Mull) Dooley, who live up the road. Can Maureen’s life-sentence of miserable drudgery be commuted, allowing her a path to love and fulfillment? Can Bleak House become Great Expectations?

MY FAVORITE YEAR

Book by Joseph Dougherty
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Directed by Dan Pappas
In 1950's TV-land, a Mel Brooks type sketch writer working for a Sid Caesar type boss is tasked with keeping a wayward movie star variety show guest (an Errol Flynn type) sober and celibate until air-time. Shenanigans ensue in a frenzy of early-TV nostalgia.
