As seen on PBS, the international sensation An Irish Christmas will perform in Mesa Arts Center's Ikeda Theater on Dec. 20 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at mesaartscenter.com or by calling 480-644-6500

Started by Kerry Records, an Irish owned and operated production company based in LA, An Irish Christmas brings talented dancers, musicians and vocalists to Arizona for a night of joy, magic and Christmas wonder. This unique Christmas performance is composed of a team of traditional Irish musicians, dancers from the Kerry Dance Troupe, which is led by Kevin Horton (Riverdance), the Kerry Records voice squad, and Irish actor Sheelagh Cullen as the narrator and storyteller. Featured dancers include Magic of Dance stars Ciaran Magquire and Collette Dunne.

In its fourth US tour, this performance takes audiences through Irish mythology and tradition with storytelling, dance and music. Well known dancer Kevin Horton has been doing Irish dance for 23 years, with world championship wins and six years touring with the Riverdance Tour. Ciaran Magquire has performed in prestigious theatres across the globe. He has trained and collaborated with the accomplished names in Irish dance since he debuted ten years ago in Riverdance at the age of 16. Collette Dunne is the principle dancer in Magic of Dance and has toured Europe in various dance shows.

Mesa Arts Center is located at One East Main Street in downtown Mesa. Tickets are $33 and a pre-show dinner is available for advance purchase.
