Outside Mullingar at Germantown Community Theatre

Notice the added Thursday performances and this allstar cast of Emily Draffen, Stephen Garrett, Tony Isbell and Christina Welford Scott! Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, a state of affairs thatdue to his painful shynesssuits him well. Rosemary lives right next door, determined to have him, watching the years slip away. With Anthonys 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 as hell, and ultimately deeply moving. OUTSIDE MULLINGAR is a compassionate, delightful work about how its never too late to take a chance on love.
