THE IRISH…AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY presents an engaging exploration of Irish culture through the lens of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt. This musical blends McCourt's sharp wit and love for the Irish people with music that spans traditional folk ballads to contemporary hits from U2. Directed by Danielle Paccione, the production promises a mixture of humor and heartfelt storytelling reflecting the tumultuous experiences of the Irish in the 20th and 21st centuries.
