"Something Great! Finding Myself in the Belfast Circus"

"Something Great!" is a two part production written and performed by Salida Circus founder Jennifer Dempsey. Directed by Dr. Moira Forsythe, this 75 minute dramedy is a raw portrait of a young woman who loses her way but finds herself in the Belfast Circus. A coming of age story about searching for purpose and finding it in the most unlikely of places. "Something Great!" sold out at the 2022 United Solo Festival in NYC and the Imagine Belfast Festival where it was called "Outstanding," "Riveting" and "A completely unique take on life during the Troubles."

Audience reviews:

"Beautiful play by Jennifer Dempsey on her life in Belfast in the 80s and 90s. From an unimpressed student to the director of the Belfast Circus - she tells a very personal story with wit, vigour and passion - I even shed a wee tear."`

"I learned more about the Irish conflict than I ever knew. I’m still thinking about it. Brilliant performance."

"An Irish history lesson delivered thru the lens of a young American on a special journey."
