Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Irish Songs and Stories at Skokie Theatre March 17

Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with two Irish-American women from the Chicago area in “Pot of Gold: An Evening of Irish Stories and Songs with Megon McDonough and Susan O’Halloran” on Friday, March 17 (St. Patrick’s night!) at 8 p.m. at the Skokie Theater, 7924 Lincoln Ave., Skokie.

Singer Megon McDonough (aka Mary Megon Margaret McDonough) was the seventh of nine children born to an Irish-American family from Crystal Lake, IL. Story artist Susan O’Halloran (aka Susan Eileen Mary O’Halloran) was born to an Irish-American family on the south side of Chicago.

Together, Megon and Sue will delight audiences as they weave together stories and songs about the pleasures and pitfalls of being raised Irish American. The concert will include classics such as “Danny Boy” and original and humorous tunes such as “The Mary Gig,” as well as stories about searching for connection in the “old country” and the unique Irish way of dealing with “enemies.”

You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this evening that will celebrate everybody’s heritages and look at what is universal for us all: family, sacrifice and, always, joy and laughter in the face of life’s challenges!
