Play description:
What happens when a handsome young stranger swaggers into a small pub in rural Ireland, telling grand tales and boasting of dark deeds? The men admire him and the women adore him! But soon he meets his match with a feisty, beautiful barmaid. This dark, comedic masterpiece still packs the same punch as when it was originally produced at Dublin's Abbey Theatre in 1907.

Please forward this email to friends, family and neighbors who enjoy theatre - they can see this wonderful production and support our school!   This is an adult-only program. 
 
Description of the Take Flight program:
Take Flight Program at Raven Theater Benefits Peirce Students

  

Anthony Peoples, Raven's actor-educator, inspires a 4th grade class at Peirce school.

 

A theatre class helps children learn to articulate their emotions, express themselves through performance and learn to work as a collaborative team.   Each year all Peirce 4th graders get the opportunity to work with the Raven Theatre in a 10-week program which ends in a performance on the Raven Theatre stage.

 

The Take Flight program provides students with an opportunity to learn the basic principles and disciplines of theatre, and to use theatre tools as a means of improving life skills.  The Take Flight program  provides Chicago Public School students with the excitement of what is often their first exposure to the theatre and the first step toward a life-long interest in theatre arts.
