Fort Collins Lincoln Center, 417 W. Magnolia, starts off the New Year with OpenStage’s production of Outside Mullingar, Jan. 9 through Feb. 6. “Freckled and fierce Irish lass Rosemary nurses a childhood grudge against her slow and socially awkward neighbor Anthony in this Tony-nominated play about a generations-old land dispute. In the face of an impending sale, the pastoral countryside ignites into an argument that is anything but neighborly. With an ailing widower after a piece of disputed turf and a tremulous widow trying to keep a leash on her admittedly crazy daughter, feelings and fur fly in this unlikely love story.”
