Mayo drama group brings Marrying Mike to the stage

A Mayo drama group will soon be bringing Marrying Mike to the stage.

Parke Arts & Drama Group presents the three-act comedy by Jimmy Keary on Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1, in Parke Community Hall.

The show start time each night is 8.30 p.m. and admission is €15 on the door.

Elderly bachelor farmer Mike Fogarty, who has land and money despite appearances to the contrary, suddenly announces that he is looking for a wife. Mike’s scheming friend Barney O’Toole decides that his sister Colette would be an ideal candidate.

Both Barney and Colette are determined that it will be a very short marriage but Mike’s friend Kate O’Sullivan discovers the scheme and rushes to the rescue. However, Mike is a hard man to save from himself.

The cast have been working hard at rehearsals, and enjoying themselves too, so audiences are sure to enjoy the play too.
