Micciolo pointed out that Ireland has produced some of the greatest writers, poets, musicians and artists the world has seen.
“An Irish Hooley celebrates this artistic achievement,” she said. “So we welcome people to join us at the Repertory Theater and take to the dance floor, pick up their instruments, clear their throats and sharpen their ears for hilarious storytelling or a serious poem, and some unbridled fun.”
