Round The Bend Theatre Presents THE MIGHTY LAMBS in Catskill This Month

Saugerties' Round the Bend Theatre will present a staged reading of David Bunce's "The Mighty Lambs" on Saturday July 9 and Sunday July 10 at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill. Curtain for both performances will be at 7:30pm. Bunce, a Capitol Region playwright and actor, and winner of BroadwayWorld.com's Best New Play of 2019 for "Red Maple", has created, in his latest work, an homage to the pubs of Ireland and the effort to save them.

In Ballinalee, County Longford, the Village Council has decided to demolish The Lamb, an historic local pub, and replace it with a cleaned-up, tourist-friendly theme park version. The pub's outraged regulars are determined to stop them. But will personal differences, private grudges, and old animosities doom their efforts to save their beloved haunt from the wrecking ball?

Featured in the cast of this staged reading are John Romeo (Aedan), Joe Quandt (Michael), Kathleen Carey (Maureen), Wil Anderson (Jamie), Emily Curro (Kathleen), Ethan Botwick (Daniel), Mike Espindle (Sean), and Michelle Moughan (Shannon), all under the direction of Beth Ryan Troxell.

Tickets for the reading are available at the door one-half hour before curtain time with a suggested donation of $10. Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 West Bridge Street in the Village of Catskill. Masking is strongly encouraged but not required while inside the theatre building.
