Step into the Ring (l to r: Kevin Stidham, Andrew Graves and Patrick Quinlan)

Come Out Swinging

We're delighted to announce Billy Roche's Irish boxing drama, Lay Me Down Softly, is running at the Banshee through August 23rd.

A traveling circus journeys across Ireland, featuring a boxing tent where local lads can try their luck in a bout against the touring champ. But the world of the boxing tent comes unraveled when a mysterious beauty with ties to their pasts arrives in their world. The gloves come off and the boys come out swinging!

Our marvelous cast features Kacey Camp, Andrew Graves, Kirsten Kollender, Jacob Lyle, John McKenna, Patrick Quinlan and Kevin Stidham. Sean Branney directs the production.

Lay Me Down Softly runs through Aug 23 at The Banshee. Don't miss your chance to enter the ring for an Irish experience unlike any we've produced. Click here to make your reservations today.
