The Quiet Man: A Great Event!
Be sure to check out our

Many thanks to Frank Mahon for writing a great play and allowing and supporting our
humble production. Special thanks to Tim Thompson of our partner Oglebay Institute's Towngate Theater, who did a
fantastic job organizing, directing, acting--we could not have done it without
him. Thanks also to our other fine actors (Arlene Merryman, Tom Stobart, P.D.
Gregg, Greg Sberna, Michael Ramsay, Rachel Thompson and Vince Marshall), our
gracious volunteers from Harmony House, Ye Olde Alpha (esp Charlie Schlegel),
Besty Bethel-McFarland and her pipes, Matt Smith and Erin Huffman, Bishop Whelan
Div. 1 AOH, celticattitudes.com, Linda Comins, Phyllis Sigal, Steve Novotney, and
Howard Monroe. And many many thanks to you, our guests and audience. Because of
your generosity and patronage, we were able to raise a lot of money for a great
and courageous organization: Harmony House Children's Advocacy Center. And finally thanks to the great
Irish writer Maurice Walsh for starting it all.
So fill to me the parting glass. Good night and joy be with you all!
