Live Theater Back On North Fork With 'Outside Mullingar'

NORTH FORK, NY — Live performances are back in Mattituck as the North Fork Community Theatre kicks off a new season with "Outside Mullingar," a play by John Patrick Stanley.

According to a description by the NFCT, the show centers on Anthony Reilly and Rosemary Muldoon, who have grown up next door to one other on two farms in rural Ireland.

"Rosemary fell in love with Anthony at the age of six and is convinced that he will eventually come to her. Anthony had his heart broken as a young man and hasn’t dared open it to another woman since. Years later, the two of them are still living next to each other, instead of together. With a small land feud happening between the two families, it seems unlikely that a romance will ever happen."

The cast includes Kevin Shea, Catherine Maloney, Rusty Kransky, and Marilee Scheer and is directed by Robert Horn and produced by Kim Cappiello, with costume design by Dee Andes, set design by Dee Martin, and stage management by Julia Cappiello.

With an eye toward COVID-19 restrictions, the NFCT will require audience members to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the performance; masks are required.

"We are so excited to be opening our 64th season of shows," said Mary Motto Kalich. "We hope you join us in person and experience live theater."

The show continues through Oct. 17 on Fridays and Saturday at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 2:30 p.m.
