Rochester Premiere!

April 9 – 18, 2026

at the Multi-Use Cultural Community Center (MuCCC)

The second RCP show this year will be the Rochester premiere of Wife to James Whelan by Irish playwright Teresa Deevy and directed by Jean Gordon Ryon. 

In the small Irish village of Kilbeggan, an ambitious James Whelan lands a prestigious professional opportunity in Dublin. However, leaving the village will separate him from Nan Bowers, the woman he loves, unless she agrees to go with him or wait for his return. As the story unfolds, their relationship after seven years and his eventual return to Kilbeggan is shared. Will they end up together?

Tickets available via the MuCCC Box Office
