The Search for Tinker Doyle
    Comedy-Drama, 9+ M, 3+ W


When Charlie McConnell takes his wife on a 30th anniversary trip to  Ireland, he thinks he’s killing two birds with one stone: conduct a little business in trying to secure a Sister City to Danville, Kentucky, where he enjoys being mayor, and give his wife the trip to Ireland she has always wanted.
    But his wife, Eleanor has other plans:  she wants to try to find Tinker Doyle, with whom she had a passionate summer romance 35 years ago. She’ll tell Charlie about it. Eventually. The search is complicated when their daughter, Charlotte, breaks her engagement at home and flies to Ireland to mend her broken heart, helped by Jack the innkeepers’ son. Mrs. O and Paddy O'Leary run the quaint O’Leary Inn and Public House, which is in danger of being bought out by a corporate pubco and turned into a mass-produced tourist bar. As Eleanor searches for Tinker among the town’s eligible men, no one is more surprised than she to find that the real Tinker Doyle  is none other than the new parish priest.
