Photo Flash: Irish Theatre of Chicago's THE WEIR Extends at The Den Theatre

Due to popular demand, Irish Theatre of Chicago's hit production of Conor McPherson's haunting and humorous Irish classic THE WEIR will add four additional performances, extending through Sunday, January 29, 2017 at The Den Theatre, 1333 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. ITC's critically-acclaimed revival is currently sold-out through Sunday, January 22. Scroll down for a peek at the show!

An enigmatic young woman from Dublin finds herself the center of attention at a local pub. Pints in hand, the local barflies recount ghostly yarns of the supernatural to impress and entertain her, but it is the visitor herself who relates the most unsettling story of all. McPherson wrote the hauntingly beautiful and humorous play The Weir at the age of 26, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Play, and the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.

Directed by Siiri Scott, THE WEIR features ensemble members Brad Armacost*, Jeff Christian*, Dan Waller* and Sarah Wellington*, with guest artist Bradley Grant Smith.

The production team for THE WEIR includes: Merje Veski* (scenic design), Aly Renee Amidei (costume design), Cat Wilson (lighting design), Joe Court (sound design) and Jen Bukovsky (stage manager).

Extension Schedule: Thursday, January 26 at 8 pm; Friday January 27 at 8 pm; Saturday, January 28 at 8 pm; and Sunday January 29 at 3 pm. Tickets for the extension, priced at $30, are currently available at www.irishtheatreofchicago.org. Student/seniors $5 off.
