Last year’s festival was hosted by Winnipeg, Canada and consisted of seven productions, representing the work of three American and four Canadian Irish theatre groups. This year’s Festival broadens its scope with nine groups from across the US and Canada.

Nine full-length plays will be performed over six days, kicking off with Gaelic Park Players’ own production of “The Chastitute” by John B. Keane at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday May 25. The remaining eight groups will perform Wed, May 26 through Sat, May 29 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. daily.
