Grab a pint and enjoy one of the funniest Irish shows that you’ve never heard of!

Join the villagers of the beautiful fictional village of Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland, as they tell tales, sing songs and mourn the passing of one of their own, Flanagan. You’ll be transported to the Emerald Isle to grieve as only the Irish can. You can share tales of your own experiences and misadventures with dear old Flanagan or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals as they recall life with himself.

Once you have arrived in Grapplin, you’ll pay your respects to glowering Mother Flanagan and to poor grieving fiancee, Fiona Finn. Listen to a eulogy written by County Sligo’s best-known writer, Mickey Finn, and tip a pint with Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales. You can cross yourself with the blessings from St. Gregory’s parish priest, Father Damon Fitzgerald, or cross your fingers that local pagan Kathleen Mooney doesn’t cast a spell on you. Mayor Martin O’Doul will preside over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat).

The show features live piano playing by Jeffrey Michael Kauffman, and the incredible improvisational talent of Samm Hill and Ruth Jenkins , Darrell McGee, Katie Mortemore, Ryan Ganguish, Nathan Petts, and Marietta Hedges.

Recommended for ages 14 and up due to adult themes, drinking, cursing, and downright silly shenanegans.

      Wouldn’t it be swell
      To escape life’s hell
      Perchance a wee bit getaway
      to somewhere like me Galway
      and embrace my inner child
      with love from the green isle

    Experience Theatre provides some of the best interactive theatre opportunities in the Portland area. I forget they are way out west – but this will be so good! If I get tickets, I will definitely wear my Irish Green!
