South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center Presents Celtic Nights: Oceans of Hope.
(South Milwaukee, WI) – South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center is proud to present an epic journey of a universal dream told through dance, imagery & music with CELTIC NIGHTS: OCEANS OF HOPE on Saturday, March 2 at 7:30 pm.
Featuring some of Ireland’s most talented performers, Celtic Nights: Oceans of Hope is the story of the Irish—who they are, where they came from, and how their dreams of liberty, freedom and, above all, family transformed the world. Oceans of Hope uses song, music, dance and narration to present its story of people crossing oceans in hopes of trading famine and persecution in their homeland for freedom and prosperity. There will be moments of joy, sadness, happiness and laughter as patrons embark on a memorable journey of past, present and future. Although the emphasis is on Ireland, the program’s impact connects inspiring stories of immigration across cultures.
“Six of Ireland’s most accomplished dancers mirror six of its finest voices to present a spell-binding and exhilarating picture of a proud people and their passion.” The Valentine Theater, New York
“Powerful songs would build your confidence, and then a ballad would come along and steal your breath. The lighting was dramatic and matched the power of the voices, dancers, music and story.” Iowa State Daily
