The Hoogland Center for the Arts is excited to present Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa, the winner of the 1992 Tony Award® for Best Play. The play will be presented in the Club Room on the Third Floor on June 5, 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and June 8 at 2 p.m. Dancing at Lughnasa is a co-production with White Horse Players and will be directed by James Daniels.

This extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters, eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief, colorful bursts of music from the radio, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large.
