Irish Repertory Theatre History

Founded by Charlotte Moore and Ciarán O’Reilly in 1988, Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors with Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars. In 1995, Irish Rep found its home at 132 W 22nd Street, on three floors of a former warehouse. With help from friends and family, Charlotte and Ciarán built the theatre from the ground up, creating two performance spaces: The Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage and The W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre. The space was renovated to its current design in 2016. In its more than 31 seasons, Irish Repertory Theatre has presented over 190 productions and worked with more than 500 company members. Irish Rep has continued to be a home for Irish and Irish-American theatre-makers, theatre audiences, and excellence in theatre. More than 50,000 audience members annually attend productions where they experience the company’s engaging perspective on the Irish and their unique and extraordinary contributions to the world of drama. Irish Repertory Theatre is the only year-round theater company in New York City devoted exclusively to bringing Irish and Irish-American works to the stage. In 2019, Irish Rep was named Company of the Year by the Wall Street Journal.
