A torrential downpour forces the women together\, and through a series of misunderstandings breaks open the secrets both women have taught themselves to ignore.

SUMMARY:The Beauty Queen of Leenane
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE BY MARTIN MCDONAGH\nDirected by James Pickering\nFeaturing Flora Coker\, Jaimelyn Gray\, Matt Specht\, and Leo Madson March 29-April 12\, 2025 \nABOUT THE PLAY\nGet ready for a wickedly sharp\, darkly hilarious ride through the rugged mountains of Connemara\, County Galway.

Packed with biting humor and searing tension\, this McDonagh masterpiece won the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play—and trust us\, it’s earned every bit of that honor. \nCONTENT WARNING: This production contains adult subject matter.
