Hanrahan Dore Normille Eoin Duane Michael Keogh Katie Rustum O’Neill John Duane Cornelius V. Kilbane, Jr. Brendan O’Reilly Clementina Santi Flaherty Simon Lorne Ciarán O’Reilly Rich Flood Ellen McCourt, Chair Emeritus Nancy Woodruff LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS Decisions about our programming schedule for the Summer of 2020 were made uncharacteristically early at the Irish Repertory Theatre. By January we had decided to return two popular shows that had won unanimous acclaim from the Summer before: Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom and Love, Noël: The Songs and Letters of Noël Coward

The demand for tickets for both shows was such that it was an easy call and we looked forward with excitement to seeing them on their feet again. Aedín Moloney would once again reveal Molly Bloom’s most intimate Joycean thoughts and Steve Ross and KT Sullivan would serenade us with the golden words and songs of Noël Coward.

But then the world changed, and new decisions had to be made...

We checked in with our stars who were scattered across the globe. Aedín Moloney was locked down in Miami, Florida, Steve Ross was in Sri Lanka, and KT Sullivan kept the home fires burning in New York City. We enquired if they might be interested in bringing their unique brand of magic directly to the homes of our patrons and they each responded YES!

Tonight, we proudly present the first of those “Yes’s”.

Enjoy and thank you for your support in these difficult times.
