The first production of the Season is the exciting World Premiere of The Cant, winner of the Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. McGuire International Playwriting Competition, a madcap comedy-drama by Dubliner Shay Linehan.  Special thanks for Larry Quinn, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation and Mr. & Mrs. Frank McGuire for supporting this initiative.

The Cant is a raucous and truly original comedy-drama that weaves together the stories of family members separated by the cruel hand of fate: a father exiled to America; two hapless and hilarious brothers and their newly inherited Irish pub; and a tortured mother protecting her family’s precious history in the tradition of Ireland’s legendary “traveling people.”
