A St. Patrick’s Day Celebration!
Join us Saturday March 16th at Backstage for an evening of music, humour, and stories, all with an Irish tilt.
Featuring the many talents of MLT member, and “Diva in the Rough”, Catherine Hughes.
The show includes tales of Folklore and Fairies, jokes, shaggy dog stories and a curated collection of dramatic readings from Yeats to Wilde. You’ll also hear about the history of Irish Whiskey and get a lesson in the translation of “Dublish,” or How To Speak Dublin.
This grand night promises an evening full of laughter, a sing-a-long, door prizes, and features the talents of MLT company members Kirsty Campbell, Shelagh Carlini, John Fetherston, Nicky Marsh and Andrew Pawarroo. Musical accompaniment will be provided by the one and only Don Guinn on piano, Darel Wernik on fiddle and Emmett Martin on guitar.
As well, there will be some Irish fare for your gob and drink for your soul. Welcome one and all … Cead Mile a Failte or One Hundred Thousand Welcomes await you.
Join us for food, drink (cash bar), and an evening of celebration.
