Support Our Fundraiser for a New Sign with an Evening of Celtic Culture and Merriment

Our recent run of Death of a Salesman sold out, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our talented cast and crew, our loyal audience members, and the new friends we've made along the way. Your support made this success possible. (Photo credit Southern Exposure Media Group).



Now, we’re excited to invite you to join us for a special fundraiser event that celebrates Celtic culture while helping us improve our community space.


This fundraiser will feature an evening filled with Irish music, dance, storytelling, and surprises. It’s a perfect chance to enjoy some of the best things to do in Atlanta while supporting a meaningful cause: raising funds to buy a new sign for our building. This sign will help us better welcome visitors and highlight the vibrant arts community we serve.




What to Expect at the Fundraiser


Our fundraiser promises a rich experience of Celtic culture, featuring performances by:


  • The BorderCollies: Known for their energetic and authentic Irish music, this group will have you tapping your feet and maybe even joining in a dance.

    "Balancing their own compositions with traditional tunes as well as covers by the likes of Dougie MacLean, the Collies effortlessly inhabit the world between tradition and innovation." - Carl McColman, New Age Voice.

    A promising blast form the Deep South." -John O’Regan, fRoots (UK)

    "Atlanta's own BorderCollies playing traditional Celtic music with a polished ferocity and excellent, stop-on-a-dime instrumentation." - Ear Candy Magazine

  • Eileen Land: A gifted storyteller and actress, fresh on the heels of her performance as Sr. Aloysius in Doubt, Eileen will share traditional tales and dances that bring Irish heritage to life.

  • Madeleine Ross: Her haunting vocals and lively tunes will add depth and warmth to the evening.


Together, these artists will create a night full of music, dancing, storytelling, and all kinds of merriment. Plus, we have a couple of surprises planned that will make the event even more memorable.


This fundraiser offers not only entertainment but also a chance to support a local arts venue that flourishes due to community involvement.
