Being out and about these last few days has felt great, no?
When the temps nosedive again, do NOT retreat back into your cocoon â get ahead of it now, by booking a ticket that will get you out of the house, and make you laugh.
As you read this, local actors are rehearsing and gearing up for their three-day run of Finneganâs Farewell, a musical comedy (by the co-creator of Tony & Tinaâs Wedding!) thatâs taking the stage at UPH Thursday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee.
âItâs so much fun,â laughs UPH director Teddy Foster. âYouâve gotta come â itâs such a great time.â
The premise: Youâre a guest at an authentic Irish wake and have come to pay your last respects to âdearly departed US Postal worker Paddy Finnegan.â The good-natured lad took a trip to an Atlantic City casino where he won $10 million at the slots â and then promptly dropped dead. With Father Seamus presiding, youâll be treated to eulogies, sing-alongs and the search for a missing corpse.
Meanwhile, youâll eat, drink, watch The Riverkids Irish dancing champions â and be invited to dance to the music of The Dublineers.
Donât leave before they read the will!
To grab your ticket (show runs March 12-14), visit at atuph.org.
