Auditions for Outside Mullingar

Posted on January 25, 2024 in General News, Member News

We are seeking actors for the delightful Irish drama, Outside Mullingar. One audition session is scheduled for Monday, January 29th at 7:00pm at the theatre. Callbacks, or a second session are a possibility if needed. If you are interested but cannot attend that evening please contact the director.

Synopsis

Anthony and Rosemary have lived their whole lives “a hen’s kick” away from each other on neighbouring farms in rural Ireland. If they are attracted to each other, there is plenty standing in the way of even speaking about it. Add complications of family relationships and old history, and you have lots to overcome. This is a lovely, if tortured love story.

Characters

  • Tony Reilly (75 in poor health, sly)
  • Anthony Reilly (Tony’s son, 42, an intense dreamer)
  • Aoife Muldoon (70s, frail)
  • Rosemary Muldoon (36, Aoife’s daughter, determined)
