"Dancing at Lughnasa"
DATES:	10/17/2012 to 10/21/2012
	Bismarck State College Theatre brings Brian Friel’s masterpiece to the stage in “Dancing at Lughnasa” Oct. 17-21 in Sidney J. Lee Auditorium with performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. In this tribute to the spirit and valor of the past, Friel tells the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their livelihood in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them in August during the festival of Lughnasa, which in Celtic folklore celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with revelry and dancing. That summer, the sisters acquire their first radio. Music, new and old, opens the world to them and unleashes wild dancing, a liberation from personal and religious repression.
