DANCING AT LUGHNASA - Brian Friel's masterpiece, a captivating
exploration of memory and longing - passionate, sad, funny, and richly
evocative.
In 1936 rural Ireland, the five Mundy sisters seek solace in each other
and the newly purchased radio that keeps them connected to their
roots. During the Festival of Lughnasa, Pagan and Christian meet and
collide as the sisters love, fight, yearn, survive, .... and dance.
Winner of the Olivier and Tony Award for Best Play.
Kate Mundy: The eldest sister, a schoolteacher and disciplinarian.
Maggie Mundy: The witty, lively sister, and peacemaker.
Agnes Mundy: Quiet and industrious but also deeply emotional; a knitter.
Rose Mundy: Curious and full of fun, but also vulnerable and somewhat
intellectually challenged.
Chris Mundy: The youngest, strong-willed, and romantic, Michael’s mother.
Michael Evans: The narrator (as an adult) who also interacts with his aunts as a child.
Gerry Evans: Michael's charming but restless and unreliable father.
Father Jack Mundy: The sisters' older brother, recently returned much
changed from his 25 years in Africa as a missionary priest.

MARJORIE PRIME - It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie – a jumble of disparate, fading memories – has a handsome new companion who’s
programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of
human identity and the limits – if any – of what technology can replace.
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
MARJORIE - This part is cast.
WALTER - Thirties - bright eyed and handsome in an unspectacular way.
TESS - Fifties - Marjorie's daughter, anxious, fierce, and fragile.
JON - Fifties - Marjorie's son-in-law, patient and self-effacing. The warm heart of the play.
