Off-Broadway's Irish Repertory Theatre will celebrate its 30th anniversary with a free block party September 15. The event will feature performances by Tony winner Bill Irwin and Leenya Rideout, both of whom will be seen in their own respective solo shows at Irish Rep this fall.

The block party will take place on 22nd Street in Manhattan between 6th and 7th Avenues—the block Irish Rep has called home for the last 23 years—from 11 AM to 2 PM.

Along with Irwin and Rideout, performers will include Master of Ceremonies Paul Keating, plus music by The Bloom of Youth Céilí Band; Lúnasa Lite with Kevin Crawford, Cillian Vallely, and Patrick Doocey; Christine Tobin; and The Green Fields of America with Mick Moloney, Billy McComiskey, Dana Lyn, Liz Hanley, Brenda Dolan, and Niall O’Leary.
