Happy Opening to THE DEAD, 1904!

“It was always a great affair, the Misses Morkan’s annual dance. Everybody who knew them came to it, members of the family, old friends of the family […] Never once had it fallen flat.” – James Joyce, THE DEAD

Let the snow fall, the music play and the stories linger as we gather to celebrate what is sure to be a great affair. Join us as we raise a glass to the cast, crew, creative team, and everyone bringing THE DEAD, 1904 to life.
