On a small farm in rural Ireland, stubbornness is a way of life—and romance is something to be fought for tooth and nail.

 

From Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright John Patrick Shanley (Doubt), Outside Mullingar is a sparkling, big-hearted comedy about two impossible people who might just be perfect for each other.

 

Anthony and Rosemary have been neighbors their entire lives, circling one another with equal parts affection, exasperation, and sheer Irish obstinacy. The problem? Neither of them is very good at saying what they feel—until, perhaps, it’s almost too late.

​

Filled with Shanley’s signature wit, blarney, and surprising bursts of poetry, Outside Mullingar is laugh-out-loud funny one moment and quietly moving the next—a love story for anyone who’s ever taken the long way around to happiness.

​

Directed by beloved Schoolhouse Theater Producing Director Bram Lewis, this charming production is a perfect evening of laughter, heart, and a touch of Irish magic.​
