“Brilliant project…really wonderful.” - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland

In our first partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Irish Arts Center will co-present script-in-hand presentations in New York and Washington of Fishamble: The New Play Company's Tiny Plays for Ireland and America. In celebration of the Kennedy Center's IRELAND 100 festival, Fishamble's acclaimed series of twenty tiny plays that portray contemporary Irish life will be accompanied by six new tiny American plays selected from an open call for submissions to honor President Kennedy’s legacy. Each selected plays will represent one of six age groups/categories ranging from age 11 and up.

In 2011, Fishamble invited the citizens of Ireland to submit tiny plays capturing the challenges and joys of contemporary life. Over 1,700 plays were submitted to the company, and Fishamble produced 50 of them in Tiny Plays for Ireland, selling out Dublin's Project Arts Centre in 2012 and 2013, and receiving great audience and critical acclaim.
