Rivals of the West's DANCING AT LUGHNASA to Take MICA Stage, 4/4-14

Rivals of the West, Maryland Institute College of Art's student theater company, will present Dancing at Lughnasa, a Tony-award winning play by Brian Friel, over two weekends this spring, running Thursdays through Sundays, April 4-14, at 8 p.m. at BBOX, 1601 W. Mount Royal Ave.

Set in the summer of 1936 in rural Ireland, the play follows the fortunes of five unmarried sisters. The production is the culmination of the annual The Play's the Thing course, in which students across majors take on roles as stage managers, lighting and sound technicians, set designers, costumers, prop fabricators, actors, and more.

Tickets: $10, students; $15, general admission ($5 discount available for purchasing tickets to both shows). Tickets will be available at the MICA Store (1200 W. Mount Royal Ave. and store.mica.edu), online at Brown Paper Tickets (brownpapertickets.com), and at the door on the day of the event.
