Irish poets learn your trade
Sing whatever is well made, […]
Cast your mind on other days
That we in coming days may be
Still the indomitable Irishry
– W.B. Yeats, “Under Ben Bulben”
Join Irish Rep Online for an evening of music and songs celebrating their thirty-two years of bringing the best Irish and Irish American stories to our stage – including our digital one! This one-night-only event, whose title is drawn from W.B. Yeats’s poem “Under Ben Bulben,” will celebrate their “indomitable Irishry” and look to the future as they celebrate the artistic accomplishments of the acclaimed master clown, Tony Award-winning actor, and MacArthur, Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellow Bill Irwin and present the Champions of the Arts Award to best-selling author and marketing powerhouse, Mary Lou Quinlan, and Joe Quinlan, former president of Time Inc. Television and senior producer of the “MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour.”
We will raise our glasses to toast with Irish Rep stars from around the globe, while an evening of song unfolds on the Irish Rep digital stage. Proceeds will help us continue to employ actors and theatre artists while producing vital new works by Irish and Irish-American playwrights.
Reservations are free but required to access this one-night-only event.
