Sierra Madre Playhouse in conjunction with The 6th Act is set to present Outside Mullingar by Tony, Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award–winning writer John Patrick Shanley (Doubt, Moonstruck) for 16 performances from October 2-25, 2026.
The play, directed by Matthew Leavitt, explores the balance between love and land, inheritance and independence, and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart.
Outside Mullingar is a lyrical, deeply human story— warm, wistful, and full of hope that love can bloom late in life. In the mist-shrouded farmlands of rural Ireland, Anthony and Rosemary live side by side, bound by family legacies, stubborn pride, and an unspoken longing that has lasted a lifetime. Anthony has spent his days quietly tending his father’s cattle farm, uncertain of his future and haunted by what might have been. Rosemary, his strong-willed neighbor, has waited years for him to see what’s been right in front of him all along.
The cast includes Michael Kirby (Anthony Reilly), Liza Seneca (Rosemary Muldoon), Armin Shimerman (Tony Reilly), and Kitty Swink (Aoife Muldoon).
The production has garnered considerable critical acclaim. Stage Raw declares, “This first-rate production is powered by outstanding cast performances. The infectious vibrancy and skill these four actors bring to their characters immediately beckons and is highly effective under director Matthew Leavitt’s perceptive direction.” LA Splash Magazine states, Outside Mullingar is “packed with laughs and sly comments about life.” It won Stage Raw’s Best Ensemble Award and was also included on both Stage Raw and Arts Beat LA’s “Top Ten” lists. Outside Mullingar premiered on Broadway in 2014 with Debra Messing and Brian F. O’Bryne.
