When an upwardly mobile African-American couple wants to buy a home in an all-white neighborhood of 1950's Boston, they pay a struggling Irish family to "ghost-buy" a house on their behalf. Fifty years later, the Irish family wants "their" house back. Moving across two eras, Luck of the Irish explores racial and social issues and the universal longing for home.
LUCK OF THE IRISH has by Mimi Lien, costumes by Oana Botez, lighting by Justin Townsend and sound by Matt Tierney.
LCT3 was established in 2008 by Lincoln Center Theater as a programming initiative devoted to producing the work of new artists as well as developing new audiences. Tickets to all LCT3 productions are $20. This spring, LCT3 will follow its production of Luck of the Irish with the world premiere of A KID LIKE JAKE by Daniel Pearle, directed by Evan Cabnet (June 2 - July 14).
