Step into the summer of 1936 in rural Ireland, where memory and myth entwine. Dancing at Lughnasa, presented by Valkyrie Theatre Company and Women’s Theatre Collective in partnership with the Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center, follows the five Mundy sisters as they navigate love, loss, faith, and freedom during a season of change.
Told through the eyes of Michael, the adult son who reflects on one luminous childhood summer, the story is filled with music, laughter, longing, and the fierce bond of family. As the harvest festival of Lughnasa approaches, the sisters cling to small moments of joy—dancing, dreaming, remembering—while the world around them shifts in ways they cannot stop.
Poetic, heart-stirring, and beautifully human, Dancing at Lughnasa invites us to reflect on memory, resilience, and the fragile magic of ordinary days.
