Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs that—due to his painful shyness—suits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthony’s father threatening to disinherit him and a land feud simmering between their families, Rosemary has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But then, in this very Irish story with a surprising depth of poetic passion, these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Their journey is heartbreaking, funny, and ultimately deeply moving. OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful work about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love.

Our March Theater by the Book Play Reading
Wednesday March 11 at 7:30 PM
Jamie, Winston, and Amelia are three young struggling artists. In a scheming attempt to raise funds, Jamie convinces an art collector that he owns an original and extremely rare painting by a little-known French master Jean Paul Credeaux. As their plan unfolds, they create an imitation Credeaux and an entangled affair.
THEATER BY THE BOOK is our series of informal play readings co-presented with the Miners Foundry.
Now in our 8th Season, we schedule five or six readings throughout the year and present a wide range of works.
The director and actors come together and rehearse for a short time; there is no scenery, no costumes, and minimal staging. Check us out and expand your theatrical horizons!
