“A Man of No Importance” Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 

A Man of No Importance is that rare gem in musical theater that combines the depth and drama of a play with the lyricism and comedy of a musical. It is a tender and beautifully woven tale of love, friendship and coming to terms with who we are. Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, it is by the Tony Award winning team of

Terrence McNally, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, creators of Ragtime. It features several wonderful Broadway classics, “The Streets of Dublin,” and “Princess.” Set in 1964 Dublin, it tells the story of bus conductor Alfie Byrne whose real passion is directing an amateur theatrical company, the Saint Imelda’s Players, and shows the power art has to impact the lives of ordinary people.

The cast is lead by beloved local favorite Anthony Teixeira as Alfie Byrne with an incredible ensemble cast featuring Jess Andra, Coy Branscum, Violet Finn, Kevin McMahon, Wendy Watson, Nick Nudler, Elsa Keefe, Ian Ryan, Kirsten Peacock, James O’Neil and Ari Lew supported by the production team of director Art Devine, musical director Scott Storr, Ryan McGettigan (Scenic Design), Daisy Long (Lighting Design), Robin McLaughlin (Costume Design) and Tori Mondello (Stage Manager).

All performances will be in Cape Rep’s Indoor Theater, 3299 Main Street, Brewster.
