\nVarious Venues<\/p>\n

Celebrating its 11th anniversary, The 2019 Origin 1st Irish Festival runs from Wednesday, January 9th to Monday, the 28th, 2019. As New York\u2019s only month-long theater festival, this series exclusively devotes time and energy to presenting contemporary plays from the Irish island.<\/p>\n

With 15 events in total, the Festival takes place in a number of distinguished venues across New York City representing 15 contemporary Irish writers and six main stage productions originating from Belfast, Derry, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Queens and Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Heralded by The New York Times as \u201can important event that offers New York theatergoers the chance to see fascinating new work,\u201d the Origin 1st Irish Festival offers an incredibly diverse set of voices and views to be explored. A previous festival production that won accolades and serious attention was playwright Enda Walsh\u2019s \u201cDisco Pigs\u201d \u2014 a bizarre mix of song, dance, and strange proclamations.<\/p>\n
