Irish Repertory Theatre Address New York City , New York Owner Ciarán O'Reilly and Charlotte Moore Opened September 1988
The Irish Repertory Theatre is an Off-Broadway theatre company founded in 1988.[1]
History
[ edit ]
The Irish Repertory Theatre was founded by Ciarán O'Reilly and Charlotte Moore and opened its doors in September 1988[1] Sean O'Casey 's The Plough and the Stars
to bring works by Irish and Irish American masters and contemporary playwrights to American audiences, to provide a context for understanding the contemporary Irish American experience, and to encourage the development of new works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures.[2]
In 1995, the company moved to its permanent home in Chelsea on three completely renovated floors of a former warehouse, allowing for both a Main Stage theatre and a smaller studio space, the W. Scott McLucas Studio. The Irish Repertory Theatre is the only year-round theatre company in New York City devoted to bringing Irish and Irish American works to the stage.
The theater has been recognized with a 2007 Jujamcyn Award , a special Drama Desk Award for "Excellence in Presenting Distinguished Irish drama," and the Lucille Lortel Award for "Outstanding Body of Work". Its productions draw more than 35,000 audience members annually.[1]
Irish American Writers & Artists Inc. honored the theatre with the Eugene O'Neill Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.[3]
In 2014, The Irish Repertory Theatre started a renovation of their home in Chelsea. For the 2014–15 season, Irish Rep's performances were held at the DR2 Theater near Union Square.[4]
During the holiday seasons of 2016 and 2017, the American Irish Historical Society headquarters on Fifth Avenue was home to the Irish Repertory Theatre's production of The Dead, 1904 .[5] James Joyce 's short story "The Dead ", adapted by novelist Jean Hanff Korelitz and her husband, Irish poet Paul Muldoon . For The Dead, 1904 , the building had 57 guests at a time, who for part of the performance joined the cast for a holiday feast drawn from the original novella.[6]
In 2017, the company received an Obie Grant from the Obie Awards presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Village Voice .[7]
