A Man of No Importance at Olathe Civic Theatre Association

A Man of No Importance (Musical)

by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Book by Terrence McNally – Directed by Chris McCoy

June 23 – July 9, 2023

Alfie Byrne is a closeted Dublin bus driver in 1964 whose heart holds secrets that he can’t share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde. When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde’s Salome in the local church hall, he confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.” But the redemptive power of theatre changes his life and brings his friends back to his side.
