Set in 1936 Ireland, “Dancing at Lughnasa” explores the potential for romance and the lure of pagan rituals in a Catholic family’s day-to-day life. The narrator, Michael (Jim Butz), guides the audience through his memories of a summer spent with his mother and her five siblings (Gary Glasgow, Michelle Hand, Amy Loui, Jennifer Theby Quinn, Kelley Weber and Leslie Wobbe), as well as a visit from his absent father (Richard Strelinger).
