Like theatres all over the country, we closed our doors in March in response to COVID-19. In May, we were proud to become the first Off-Broadway theatre to announce a full summer season of digital productions. We are excited to share that we are getting ready to do it again in the fall!
Critical Response to our Digital Season:
“Irish Rep is now way out in front of every other company in America when it comes to marrying technical innovation with artistic quality” – Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“No one produces Irish playwrights better than the Irish Repertory Theatre. And that has set them both up perfectly for the Zoom age…The result is as close to a theatrical experience as one can hope for these days.” -Joe Westerfield, Newsweek
