A young man wanders into a pub on the rural coast of Ireland and tells the tale of how he killed his father with a spade. His story thrills the women of the village, especially the lovely bar-maid, Pegeen. But then his dad turns up, very much alive and the son will have to kill him all over again. This lovely wacky play caused riots in Dublin when it first premiered in 1907. Now it's a bona fide classic, but just as fresh as ever in the exuberant and talented hands of our UCCS students.

  TRAFFIC ALERT
  
  Construction on Austin Bluffs will make things a little difficult for those trying to reach the theater heading East on Austin Bluffs. Please use extra time to reach the theater. The city advises:
  
  * Left turns from eastbound Austin Bluffs Parkway to northbound Cragwood Drive were eliminated permanently on February 12, 2007.
  * As part of the final configuration, access to Cragwood Drive from Austin Bluffs Parkway will be eliminated and replaced with new access as follows:
  o Traffic heading west on Austin Bluffs Parkway will turn right on Cragmor Village Road to reach the new frontage road that will be constructed.
  o Traffic heading east on Austin Bluffs Parkway will turn left on Meadow Lane to reach the new frontage road that will be constructed.
  * Until the new access opens, northbound Cragwood Drive can only be accessed as a right hand turn from westbound Austin Bluffs Parkway.
  
  What do to....
  
  We recommend approaching the theater using west-bound Austin Bluffs OR approaching via Union. To approach heading east-bound on Austin Bluffs you could make a U-turn at Austin Bluffs and Union and double back on west-bound Austin Bluffs.
