GreenMan Theatre presents ‘Irish Tales,’ a collection of Ireland’s stories and songs, March 12

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, so come celebrate the beloved “Erin Go Bragh” holiday with an evening of Irish stories and songs!

Storytellers from GreenMan Theatre Troupe will present “Irish Tales,” a free event for adults and older children, on Tuesday, March 12. It will begin at 7 p.m. in the large meeting room at Elmhurst Public Library, 125 S. Prospect Ave.

“We’ll be trying to recreate the experience of a traditional Celtic party called a ceilidn,” said Carolyn Thomas-Davidoff, “Irish Tales” director. “There will be a variety of themes for everyone — action, history, fun and drama.”

Stories featured in “Irish Tales” include “The Children of the Lir,” “Finn McCool and the Salmon of Wisdom” and “The Clumsy Daughter.” Songs include “Danny Boy,” “Why Paddy’s Not at Work” and “Wild Mountain Thyme.”

GreenMan Theatre storytellers and singers are: Cassy Beach, Julie Brandon, Melanie Concklin, Marilyn Connolly, Becca Easley, Katie Lahey, Victoria Rebeck, Steven Soria and Thomas-Davidoff. Beach is serving as music director.

Attendees can register to attend in-person or via live Zoom at elmhurstpubliclibrary.org. Walk-up attendance is also available.
