1st Irish 2025

Origin's annual festival celebrates all things Irish, in partnership with local venues. There are multiweek runs at major theaters—Irishtown at the Irish Rep, Fishamble's Fight Night and In Two Minds at 59E59—as well as shorter ones at the American Irish Historical Society, 54 Below, the Churchill Tavern, Ernie O’Malley’s, Pangea, Queens's NY Irish Center and Greek Cultural Center and the Bronx café An Beal Bocht. Among the offerings are several productions from Ireland and Northern Ireland, such as Sinead O’Brien’s No One Is Coming (Apr 5–6), Tom Moran’s Tom Moran is a Big Fat Filthy Disgusting Liar (Apr 15–20) and Big Telly's immersive Granny Jackson Is Dead (Apr 24–26). The festival's green umbrella stretches wide, so consult its website for full details.
