Happy holidays from Dublin

An Irish Christmas combines traditional work songs (“Ding Dong Dedero,” “Si Do Mhaimeo”) and Christmas carols (“Little Drummer Boy,” “What Child Is This?”) with traditional Irish songs and tales. Narrator Sheelagh Cullen tells the story of a traditional Irish Christmas with straw boys, a shoemaker and groups of children and adults who carry a wren from door to door on the day after Christmas. Witness the brush dance and dancing on the half-door, and learn about butter making and the importance of dance shoes. Watch for the bodhrán, a frame drum with roots dating to the 14th century. Principal dancer Kevin Horton (Riverdance) is joined by a cast of award-winning dancers, singers, actors and musicians. 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 29; 2 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 30; 2 and 6 p.m. on Sunday, December 1; $20-$49.
