Intimate Musical ‘A Man of No Importance’ Celebrates
Power Of Theater, Love, Friendship At A Noise Within

May 4, 2025 - June 4, 2025

​

A Noise Within presents A Man of No Importance, the Outer Critics Circle Award-winning musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by the late Terrence McNally. In this intimate and evocative musical that celebrates the redemptive power of theater, love and friendship, Alfie Byrne, an unassuming bus conductor in 1960s Dublin, is determined to stage an amateur production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome. But this man of seemingly no importance must confront religious objections to his artistic pursuits and face the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.” A Noise Within, 3352 E Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.
