This award­winning comedy by Marie Jones features Andrew Huff and Wayne David Parker who meet when working as extras on a big American movie being shot in Ireland. Charlie's video shop in Ballycastle has gone bankrupt and Jake has returned to Kerry after a futile few years in the US. The movie is a wonderful break from worrying about their futures, until the harsh realities of rural life break through. A recent three time Tony Award nominee, "Stones in His Pockets" won the Irish Times/ESB Irish Theatre Award for Best Production and two Olivier Awards­ Best New Comedy and Best Actor.

"This play is a great adventure," said Regan. "It's really impressive to see the two actors portray a total of 15 characters between them, and I think people will enjoy the hilarity of the script. It's a lot of fun."

Performances of "Stones in His Pockets" run Thursday­ Sunday March 5­ April 5, 2015 (Preview is Thursday, March 5; Opening Night is Friday, March 6). Tickets range in price from $25­$41. For information on productions and events at the Network or to donate, please go to w?ww.pntheatre.org?or call the box office at 734­663­0681. Performance Network Theatre is located at 120 E. Huron St, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104.
