A charming Irish play by John Patrick Shanley about how it’s never too late to take a chance on love!

Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted 40 somethings. Anthony has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland, which suits his shyness well. Rosemary lives next door. She’s determined to have him and is tired of watching the years slip away. With the feud between their families, Rosemary has every reason to expect a romantic catastrophe. But she has to try! (Approximate Run Time: 90 mins.)

Part of Neil Simon’s Eugene trilogy, Biloxi Blues centers on the experiences of a young army recruit, Eugene Morris Jerome, during World War II. At basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi, Eugene is determined to use his army experiences to help his writing career and keeps detailed memoirs about his experiences. Eugene and his fellow soldiers-in-training suffer under a hard-nosed drill sergeant; attempt to stomach the terrible army food served up in the mess hall; and bond over an adventure to visit the local prostitute. Along the way, Eugene is forced to learn about authority, danger, sex, assimilation, bigotry, homosexuality, and love. Presented by the Hawthorne Players.
