FEB. 6–16 The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh | directed by Dwayne Brenna When the people of Inishmaan learn that a Hollywood director is coming to a nearby island to shoot a film, no one is more excited than Cripple Billy, an unloved boy who hatches an audacious plan to be part of the movie. The Cripple of Inishmaan is a bleak yet uproariously funny play.
