THE IRISH AND HOW THEY
​GOT THAT WAY
​
MARCH 8-25, 2018
A musical celebration of Irish heritage filled to the brim with humor, stories and heart. Sl​áinte!

​Created by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Frank McCourt (Angela’s Ashes), this revue is a celebration of a heritage that confronts adversity with determination, good humor, music, and a love of life. McCourt’s wit, insight and boundless love for the Irish are underscored by music extending from the auld Irish folk ballads to World War II standards, and beyond.

​The show will run approximately 2 hours with a brief intermission.
