Have you ever felt like a fish out of water? Ever too shy to approach that someone special? Ever wanted a chance to write a play?
Lynnea Mangan, an Orland Park resident has. This November, Gaelic Park will be performing her play "St. Patrick's Gift". Lynnea, a south sider, grew up in Mt. Greenwood, graduated from St. Xavier's, taught in New Lenox and lives in Orland Park. It's a dream come true to have her play performed.
St. Patrick's Gift is about a family who live in a predominately Irish Catholic neighborhood of Chicago. As they prepare for their annual St. Patrick's Day party, life changing events are taking place within their family. Their son Patrick has to decide about entering the priesthood. Their daughter Katrina shields a secret and uncle Mick conspires with the neighbor girl Colleen who is secretly in love with Patrick. Secrets are heard and gossip ensues. Add a live in grandma with her old world beliefs and a mother who is neither Irish nor Catholic and a comedy unfolds.
