The Gingold Theatrical Group announced that in lieu of the 2021 Golden Shamrock Gala, they will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with an Irish Poetry Slam. The Poetry Slam will be held online on Wednesday March 17th and the event is FREE to attend but you must register here by March 15th.  There is a cap to the amount of guests who can join via Zoom, so it will also be live streamed on the GTG Faceook page.

Speakers include:

• Robert Cuccioli
• Tyne Daly
• Melissa Errico
• Jessica Hecht
• Daniel Jenkins
• Andrea Marcovicci
• Tonya Pinkins
• Thom Sesma
• Renee Taylor
• Sally Wilfert
• Karen Ziemba

and more!

Along with a plethora of speakers, the even includes a digital open mic. "Ordinarily, we’d be having our annual Golden Shamrock Gala on the 17th, but…nope! This shindig will take place over Zoom! Not Irish? Not a problem. On St. Pat’s, we’re ALL a little Irish. This is just a party. Not a performance. Not a fundraiser. Just a chance for us all to raise a glass and be ‘together’..,” said David Staller, Artistic Director of Gingold Theatrical Group.

Now celebrating its 16th year, Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw made history in December 2009 as the first company ever to present performances of every one of Shaw's 65 plays (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches).
