The Irish Repertory Theatre is currently the only year-round theater company in New York City devoted to bringing the works of Irish and Irish-American masters and contemporary playwrights to the stage.
Founded by Ciarán O’Reilly and Charlotte Moore, the Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors in September 1988 with Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars.
Recognized with the 2007 Jujamcyn Theatres Award, a special Drama Desk Award for "Excellence in Presenting Distinguished Irish drama," and the Lucille Lortel Award for "Outstanding Body of Work," the Irish Repertory Theatre has celebrated the very best in Irish theater for 20 years, from the masters to the new generation of Irish and Irish-American writers who are transforming the stage.
More than 32,000 audience members annually attend productions at the theater in the heart of New York’s Off Broadway community.
