Event to feature Irish music and dance

The Arts at Millersville University will present "Ceilidh: An Evening of Irish Music and Dance" on Friday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster.

The Bessie Award-nominated company Darrah Carr Dance will offer a twist on conventional Irish dance, drawing from Irish music, step dance footwork, and spatial patterns. The show, "Ceilidh," or "House Party," combines live Celtic music with dance, songs, and storytelling in the spirit of the warmth and friendship of an Irish house party.

Darrah Carr Dance consists of championship Irish dancers, including Trent Kowalik, Tony Award winner and the original star of Broadway's "Billy Elliot," as well as Timothy Kochka, two-time winner of the World Irish Dancing Championships and former member of Riverdance. Artistic director Darrah Carr was named one of the Top 100 Irish Americans of the Year by Irish America Magazine and was awarded the Irish Heritage Award from the New York City Comptroller Office in recognition of her contribution to the cultural life of New York's Irish community.
