You provide comfortable walking shoes and a light jacket is recommended. A fun filled day of fun, food, and music for all ages.
Gather your friends and stop by the shop on your way home for some fun and conversation. You can purchase a glass of wine or beer and enjoy the deck or seating inside. Come join the fun at 525 W Main Street, Burnsville. The wine tastings are free but you must be 21 to attend.
In the golden late summer of 1936 anything seems possible for the five Mundy sisters, even love. The return of their elder brother to the family home in Donegal, Ireland after missionary work in Africa heralds the end of their golden season, and as the summer draws to a close the Mundy sisters must face their own bitter-sweet harvest. Winner of the 1992 Tony Award for Best Play, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway Play, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. Chosen by Time magazine as one of the ten best plays for 1991. Visit www.parkwayplayhouse.com for tickets.
