Beggars in the House of Plenty, directed by Sean McConaha, explores the myths and reality of an Irish-American family, through the eyes and memory of the play's main character, Johnny (Sean Derry).  He is the youngest of three siblings in an Irish Catholic household lorded over by a violent father (Michael Regnier), a butcher from the Bronx, and a shrewish mother (Anne McEvoy), who can offer only cold advice, not comfort, to her family. The family also includes Johnny's aunt, Sister Mary Kate (Nikki Bowers), a Catholic nun who visits the family. Johnny's sister Sheila (Sarah Weinhardt) escapes her family through marriage, while older brother Joey (Doug Kusak), a high school dropout, chooses a career in the navy and eventually returns from Vietnam. On his own, Johnny finds a way to comfort himself through pyromania and writing about his family. As he grows up, he becomes increasingly perceptive, illuminating more of the reasons behind the sad madness of his family. Johnny's thoughts, constantly interrupted by the violent interactions of his family members, lead us to a dream like ending full of the harsh reality that he and his siblings have been merely beggars for love in house filled with plenty.
