WOMENS THEATRE COLLECTIVE PRESENT DANCING AT LUGHNASA AT THE FAIR OAKS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 

Women’s Theatre Collective presents Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel, performing March 27–April 12 at the Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center. Set in rural County Donegal in 1936, the play follows the five Mundy sisters as they struggle to hold their family together amid economic hardship and a rapidly changing world. As the ancient harvest festival of Lughnasa approaches, tradition, faith, and long-suppressed desires rise to the surface, revealing moments of humor, tenderness, and quiet reckoning.

This production celebrates women—their resilience, their bonds with one another, and the strength found in ordinary lives—while honoring Friel’s deeply human portrait of family, memory, and change. By turns intimate, lyrical, and deeply moving, Dancing at Lughnasa invites audiences to witness the beauty and complexity of women’s stories at the heart of a transforming Ireland.

Presented by Women’s Theatre Collective at the Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center.
