In Ireland, until recently, people would gather on a designated night (called an oíche airneáil) to spend the night telling stories, singing songs, reciting poetry, and much more.
Join Genevieve Galarneau and Dubhán Ó Longáin in the round as they breathe life into the myths and legends of Ireland through the ancient traditions of Irish oral artistry and recreate the teach airneáil experience.
$10 Admission; Open session to follow.
