Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) just presented celebrated Irish tenor Ronan Tynan in a special gala performance, "The Tenor on Main," at Patchogue Theatre on Saturday, April 25, at 7 p.m. The gala benefits the nonprofit by raising funds for future programming at the theatre.
This is the second time the Board is holding a gala to support the performing arts at Patchogue Theatre and bring the community together to celebrate the theatre's success," said Mary Pontieri, vice chair of the PTPA board and co-chair of the gala committee. "We are excited to continue to bring extraordinary acts like Ronan Tynan, Patti LuPone and The Bacon Brothers to Patchogue each year. The theatre has been the heart of Patchogue's flourishing music scene."
Irish tenor, recording artist, physician and champion disabled athlete, Ronan Tynan moves audiences like few others can. His stirring performances and personal story of triumph have brought him international acclaim.
The New York Times called Tynan, "the closest thing this country has to an official Meistersinger."
Profiled by ABC's "20/20," CBS' "Sunday Morning" and People Magazine, Ronan Tynan was born with a lower limb disability and had his legs amputated at age 20. Within a year, he was competing in the Paralympic Games, both in track and field and as an equestrian. He won 18 gold medals and set 14 world records, nine of which are still in place today.
