The Keegan Theatre presents Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa. This Tony Award-winning play, loosely based on the lives of Friel's mother and aunts, depicts Ireland in the late summer of 1936, when love briefly seems possible for three of the five Mundy sisters. It's an intimate and lyrical portrait of a country and a family at a crossroads. Learn More

- "It’s the music that matters, and in this regard the Keegan is dead-on." --Washington Post

<p>The Keegan Theatre brings back to the stage one of its most successful productions, the musical Man of La Mancha. Based on Cervantes’ classic, Don Quixote comes to life as an old knight seeks honor in the world but instead finds true love. Since its off-Broadway beginnings in the 1960s, this show has warmed the heart and taught us all the importance of following our dreams. Man of La Mancha is one of the most enduring works of musical theatre, and one that remains in your heart and soul well after you leave the theater. Keegan’s production will once again feature the incredible talent of Helen Hayes-nominated actor and Keegan company member David Jourdan as Don Quixote.</p>
