THE SONG OF THE SEA W/ LIVE IRISH MUSIC

MARCH 17

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a special family-friendly hybrid event fusing complimentary Celtic music with a fantastic Irish movie on March 17th!

First enjoy a set of stirring traditional Irish tunes by local band Rhode To Dublin. After the band stokes the spirt of St. Patrick, stay for a screening of 2014's gorgeous animated Song Of The Sea, an enchanting tale of Irish folklore infused with a Celtic score. Fun & culturally enriching for the whole family, we hope you join us whether you hail from the Emerald Isle or just admire Irish culture (and great film & song)!

Plot Synopsis: Ben, a young Irish boy, discovers his little sister Saoirse is a selkie- a girl who can turn into a seal. Together they go on an adventure to aid the fairies of folklore and save the spirit world. Saoirse, with Ben's help, must find her voice and free these benevolent supernatural creatures from the spell of a Celtic goddess.

Critically and audience acclaimed with a Rotten Tomatoes critical score of 99% Fresh reviews, the consensus says: "Song of the Sea boasts narrative depth commensurate with its visual beauty, adding up to an animated saga overflowing with family-friendly riches."

"Sweet, aesthetically breathtaking ..." - The Boston Globe

"This superb Irish animation from the director of 2009's The Secret of Kells is a treat; an enchanting and very moving "family film". -The Observer
