A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE

A Man Of No Importance

July 6, 2023 — August 5, 2023
Days & Times: Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30 pm, Sunday at 2 pm

Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, A Man of No Importance is a tender and beautifully woven tale of love, friendship and coming to terms with who we are by the Tony Award-winning team of Terrence McNally, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. Alfie Byrne, a bus driver in 1964 Dublin, heart holds secrets that he can’t share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde. When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde’s Salome in the local church hall, he confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name” and reveals the redemptive power of theater and true friendship.
