Stage and screen star Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is the New Black, Equus, Ryan's Hope, Star Trek: Voyager, Tea at Five), heads of the cast of Irish Repertory Theatre's production of Nancy Harris' The Beacon beginning September 11.

Directed by Marc Atkinson Borrull, the production will officially open September 22 for a limited engagement through November 3 on Irish Rep’s Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage.
