Show Synopsis: The play Outside Mullingar, by John Patrick Shanley, focuses on Anthony and Rosemary, two introverted, 40-something misfits. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, and - due to his painful shyness - that suits him just fine. Rosemary lives right next door and since she was 6 years old. She's determined to have him, but as the years slip away, Rosemary has every reason to think they'll never be together. This very Irish, poetic, and somewhat magical story finds these yearning, eccentric souls fighting toward their own kind of happiness. Oddly funny, heartbreaking, and deeply moving, Outside Mullingar, sparks hope in each of us that it's never too late to take a chance on love.
