John B. Keane’s, “Big Maggie”

Summer of 2001 – Saw John B. Keane’s, “Big Maggie” here with my two young children and mother-in-law. It was amazing! The best part was audience members coming up to me and complimenting me on my children’s behavior… they were 7 & 11 at the time. My children were in awe of the acting and still talk about it… My daughter is now a writer.

I love how you make the theatre affordable for families to attend the productions as well. Can’t wait to get back there on my next trip to Ireland.
