The Center continues its Sunday brunch/theatre series, The Stone Hearth Staged Reading Series, this fall. Due to the
success of these sold-out productions, we have added more performances and a dinner performance.
Each month, a cast of professional actors perform staged readings of Irish one-act plays in the Fifth Province Pub following an Irish brunch. We are excited to offer a new dinner option and Thursday night performance.
Tickets are $30 for IAHC Members and $35 for general admission and include brunch on Sundays and a light buffet dinner on Thursday nights. On Sundays, brunch is at noon and the performance is at 1pm. On Thursday nights, dinner is at 6:30pm and performances are at 7:30pm.
You can also purchase a 5 show subscription for $125, available for both members and general admission. The subscription must be purchased over the phone.
The Stone Hearth September production is
Afterplay by Brian Friel
Directed by Charles Gerace, featuring Julia Kessler and Will Clinger
September 23 and 27
Brian Friel brings two characters together in a Moscow café where they are drawn to each other and find understanding and commonality in their disappointments and unquenchable hopes. The fact that Sonya and Andrey are from two different Anton Checkov plays, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya, adds to the beauty and cleverness of this touching play.
Stay tuned for Election Night in October and In the Shadow of the Glen in November.
Election Night by Donal Courtney
Directed by Si Osborne
October 25 and 28
An incumbent politician awaits the results of a close election between himself and an independent woman candidate whose campaign is based on a single issue; drunkdriving. His past is about to catch up with him and tonight he must confront his demons.
In The Shadow of the Glen by John Millington Synge
November 15 and 18
A tramp knocks on a cottage door in Wicklow looking for shelter on a rainy night and walks in on a wake. Or so he thinks. This is the first play of J.M. Synge to be produced and was presented at the Abbey Theatre in 1903.
