IRISH ARTS CENTER (Producer) Since 1972, the Irish Arts Center has been the primary home for Irish arts and culture in New York. Located in the heart of Manhattan’s historic “Hell’s Kitchen,” The Irish Arts Center is one of the largest and most inclusive Irish cultural organizations in the United States. More than 35,000 people of all ages and ethnicities participated directly in Irish Arts Center programs in 2006, plus many more through print and broadcast media coverage of our theatrical and musical engagements, education programs, festivals, and special events. The Center provides a home for established Irish artists and performers to reach – and build – a New York audience, providing a welcome opportunity for Irish and non-Irish alike to enjoy authentic, first-class Irish entertainment. For 35 years, the Center has offered a cultural home away from home for such cultural luminaries as Robert Ballagh, Marie Jones, Jimmy Murphy, Mark O’Rowe, Ronnie Drew, Mike Hanrahan, The Chieftains, The Nualas, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Eamonn O’Doherty, Donal O’Kelly, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Milo O’Shea, Jim Sheridan, Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson and many, many more.

SEMPER FI (Ireland) Formed in November 1999, Semper Fi’s purpose is to create significant and hopefully profound theatre out of unexpected tales, dangerous texts, within site-specific locations. The company further hopes to energize the process of making theatre and art by challenging fellow artists to work in new and potentially demanding ways. By moving the safety net of established parameters, Semper Fi (Ireland) aims to make theatre bold, at times spontaneous and fun, at others dark and disturbing.
