In the Performing Arts Center A Couple of Blaguards Saturday • March 23 • 2:00 pm Frank McCourt and Malachy McCourt’s "A Couple of Blaguards" is an autobiographical account of their years growing up in poverty in Ireland. Though times were tough in Limerick, the tales spun by the brothers McCourt simmer with bittersweet recollections, ferocious humor and a parade of colorful characters — from the priest who warns of sinners’ eyeballs exploding in Hell to the McCourt grandmother who spits on Franks’ unruly Presbyterian hair to tame it. "MEMORABLE! The brothers McCourt bring their two best selling books to the stage...the show has a roguish appeal." $40 Orchestra • $25 Mezzanine Seniors - take $5 off $10 Children (with adult ticket) or DESIGN YOUR OWN SERIES OF 3-5 OR MORE EVENTS
