Since 2007 Origin Theatre Company produces a month-long theater festival, Origin 1st Irish, that is unlike any other in the world. A uniquely audience-friendly festival, Origin 1st Irish is recognized for its focused size, and emphasis on audience engagement through productions, parties, panels and workshops. It is the world’s only theatre festival dedicated to showcasing the work of contemporary Irish playwrights, and is New York’s only all-Irish performing arts festival.
Media Blitz has helped put this festival on the map, insuring that it has become, as The NY Times puts it, “An important event that offers New York theatergoers the chance to see fascinating new work.”
