"No institution flies the flag for Ireland in New York
better than The Irish Repertory Theatre. That's the view
of Irish Echo readers who last week declared the 'Rep' the greatest ambassador for Ireland in the Big Apple
in an online poll." - Irish Echo

Frank McCourt's
THE IRISH...AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY
directed by Charlotte Moore
July 14th - September 5th
THE IRISH…AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY is an irreverent history of the Irish through the tumultuous 20th and 21st centuries through the eyes of Pulitzer Prize winning author, Frank McCourt (Angela’s Ashes, Tis, Teacher Man).
McCourt’s razor sharp wit, coupled with his trademark bitter irony, and his boundless love for the Irish People are all underscored by glorious music extending all the way from the auld Irish folk ballades, through George M. Cohan’s patriotic love songs to America, World War II standards sung in movies, USOs and foxholes all over the world, and including the latest from contemporary Ireland’s U2.

“A fitting tribute to everything Irish.” – Theatremania
“All that was missing was a pint of Guinness.”

“The six performers entertain with a glint in their eyes, a sprint to their steps and a touch of Irish humor and wit to tell their many tales. A captivating capsule of Irish history performed to the hilt by a great ensemble cast.”
