Outside Mullingar

Fresh from Broadway

By the author of Doubt and Moonstruck, Pulitzer Prize winning author John Patrick Shanley’s tender romantic comedy tells the tale of longtime Irish neighbors, Anthony and Rosemary, who, nearing middle age, struggle as their youth and dreams of idyllic love begin to fade away. Longstanding family rivalries and a land dispute notwithstanding, the couple ultimately faces their fears in this uplifting story, reminding us that love can come to call when you least expect it.

Directed by Fortunato Pezzimenti

Irish Classical Theatre: A dream come true for two Dublin-born brothers

In 1985, two Dublin-born brothers, Vincent and Chris O’Neill, internationally acclaimed actors and former members of Ireland’s celebrated Abbey Theatre, found themselves in Buffalo, New York performing Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in the dining room of a local hotel. They were enthusiastically embraced by Western New York audiences and critics and, together with fellow Dubliners Josephine Hogan and the late Dr. James Warde, formed the Irish Classical Theatre Company. Performing on various rented stages until a permanent home was established at the Calumet Arts Café, ICTC became the fastest growing theatre in the region and led to the building of its new home, The Andrews Theatre, which opened its doors in January of 1999 in Buffalo’s Theatre District.
