Description
The Irish American Heritage Museum is pleased to re-introduce the tradition of the Seanachie, the traditional Irish Storyteller to downtown Albany. The Seanachie were travelers, carrying stories and news between hamlets and families. For the price of a warm meal, they’d share stories of the old ones and lively tales of romance and blarney. There would be music, smiles, a bit of learning, and a bit of carrying on. In that spirit join us for stories, fine fellowship, and fun.
Christie Keegan's personal stories weave together the wonders of childhood, questions of adolescence, and stark realities of adulthood. She is fond of animals and these friends find their way into her stories.
Alden (Joe) Doolittle is a regional storyteller who helped organize the series. He returns in partnership with Christie Keegan to offer some of his favorite personal and historical tales. He’s traveled in Ireland and has a fondness for the “West” County Galway, and Clare, and the mists of these treasures will season his stories.
Seanachie Eves will run from January through May on the second Friday of each month. The admission cost is as follows: for Members of IAHM $5/person $12/Family; Non Members $10/person, $25 family- Reservations suggested please call (518) 427-1916. All performances will take place in the Museum’s Trustco Bank Gallery and Hogarty Family Exhibition Hall. This series will bring some of the finest story tellers from all over the Northeast to the Irish American Heritage Museum! Seanachie Eves at the Irish American Heritage Museum is sponsored by Berkshire Bank.
