Tickets are now available for Tantrum Theater’s summer 2016 season. All seats are general admission and on sale for each of the three plays — 57 separate performances between May 31 and August 13. Shows will be performed in the Abbey Theater at the Dublin Community Recreation Center in Dublin.

Tantrum’s inaugural season opens with Little Shop of Horrors, the comedy-horror-rock musical written by Howard Ashman, with music by Alan Menken, and directed by Daniel C. Dennis.

The new original play, Tammy Faye’s Final Audition, written by Merri Biechler, and directed by Dennis Lee Delaney, begins July 5. And finally, timed to coincide with the annual Dublin Irish Festival, Brian Friel’s award-winning Irish masterpiece, Dancing at Lughnasa, will be directed by Sheila Daniels.
