A Touch of the Poet
on
the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage
By
Eugene O'Neill
Directed
by Ciarán O'Reilly
With Belle
Aykroyd, Robert Cuccioli, Kate Forbes, Mary McCann, Andy Murray,
James
Russell, David Sitler, John C. Vennema
February 26 – April 17, 2022
Proud and
tempestuous Cornelius Melody (Con) owns a run-down inn and tavern
near Boston in 1828. Laden with debt, Con clings to his tenuous
identity as a landed gentleman and war hero and chastises his wife
and daughter for actions that expose the family’s humble Irish
origins. When his daughter, Mary, falls in love with a wealthy
American guest at their inn, Con’s pride drives him to an explosive
reckoning with his true place in the New World.
Irish Repertory
Theatre planned to present A Touch of the Poet in March 2020,
however the week prior to opening, the theatre temporarily
shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are proud to present
this production on our mainstage after producing a digital production
in October of 2020.

Made by God
in
the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre

With

Daniel Marconi, and Briana Gibson Reeves
February 11 – March 20, 2022
Small town,
Ireland,1984; Ann, a fifteen-year-old girl, is found dead with her
newborn baby in Our Lady’s Grotto at the edge of town. The tragedy
rips Ireland apart and haunts it for years to come. Decades pass.
American podcaster, Eva, travels to Ireland on a pilgrimage—of
sorts. With her microphone in hand, she seeks to learn more about Ann
and her final days, but her own secret past pursues her. She meets
Michael, Ann’s boyfriend, and faith and feelings intertwine, as two
strangers try to find peace.
Made by God features the true
and tragic story of the 1984 death of Ann Lovett and her newborn baby
in Granard, County Longford. Her pregnancy was reportedly unknown to
all, including her family, and no social services were open to the
pregnant teen. Shortly before Ann’s death, a referendum in Ireland
established the 8th Amendment: deeming the right to life of an
“unborn” equal to the life of a pregnant woman. In 2018, shortly
after Made by God is set, the 8th Amendment was repealed by a
referendum.
