Keegan Theatre Announces The Cast Of AN IRISH CAROL

The Keegan Theatre has announced the 2023 cast and team of Matthew J. Keenan's AN IRISH CAROL, Keegan's own holiday tradition returning for its 13th year, playing December 2-31, 2023.

“As the Founder of the Keegan Theatre and the Director of our holiday tradition AN IRISH CAROL,” remarks Mark A. Rhea, “it is truly a highlight of the season, for me personally! To see it continue into its 13th consecutive season – and with so many returning cast members each year – is such a gift to both Keegan and our audience members. We always look forward to sharing this original work by my dear friend Matthew J. Keenan and connecting with our community through its story of friendship, compassion, and redemption. We hope you'll make AN IRISH CAROL a part of your holiday plans!”

About the play: AN IRISH CAROL is an homage to Dickens' classic – told as only the Irish can. This comic and touching play, set in a modern Dublin pub, follows one evening in the life of David, a wealthy pub owner who has lost touch with his own humanity in the interest of self-protection and material success. But on this Christmas Eve – challenged by a voice from the past, provoked by those in the present, and faced with the reality of a lonely future – David's life may change forever.

The cast of AN IRISH CAROL features Kevin Adams (David), Timothy H. Lynch (Frank), Michael Replogle (Jim), Taylor Witt (Bartek), Jared H. Graham (Simon), Sarah Chapin (Anna), Mike Kozemchak (Michael), Theo Hadjimichael (Michael), and Mick Tinder (Richard).

In addition to director Mark A. Rhea, the artistic team includes Mary Doebel (Stage Manager), Cindy Landrum Jacobs (Properties & Set Dressing Designer), Matthew J. Keenan (Resident Scenic Designer & Lead Carpenter), Dan Martin (Lighting Designer), Craig Miller (Hair & Make-up Designer), Jake Null (Sound Designer), Kelly Peacock (Costume Designer), and Matt Rippetoe (Original Music).
