The Ties That Bind: Performing Ireland, Becoming American July 7, 2011

This exhibition entitled 'The Ties that Bind: Performing Ireland, Becoming American' explores aspects of Irish American performance history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly those that illuminate the nexus between public and private, culture and subculture. It explores the home as the incubator of cultural identity and the stage as the platform for ethnic creativity and transmission.
