Co-founded by Producing Director Ciarán O'Reilly and Artistic Director Charlotte Moore, The Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors in September 1988 with Sean O'Casey's THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS. The mission of the theatre was and remains to bring works by Irish and Irish American masters and contemporary playwrights to American audiences; to provide a context for understanding the contemporary Irish American experience; and to encourage the development of new works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures.
BANISHED CHILDREN OF EVE received developmental support from the National Endowment for the Arts and was read as part of The Irish Repertory Theatre's 2009/2010 New Works Reading Series.
Currently at The Irish Repertory Theatre is its special engagement of Frank McCourt's THE IRISH...AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY, directed by Charlotte Moore, with performances scheduled through September 26.
