The festival celebrates the traditions of the Irish stage as community theatre companies from across North America and Ireland come together to perform Irish and Irish-themed plays -- both comedies and dramas, contemporary as well as classic. We're pleased to announce that we will ...have award winning Canadian Playwright, Sharon Pollock, as well as Calgary Sun Theatre Critic, Louis B. Hobson, as adjudicators for the 2011 Festival in Calgary! Visit the Acting Irish Wikipedia page for information on previous festival dates. The Liffey Players Drama Society is proud to host the 2011 AIITF, only the second time since 1996 that the festival will be held in Calgary. Our showcase performance of Conor McPherson's "The Seafarer" wil be presented the two weeks prior (May 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14), at the Irish Cultural Society. Please come out to support the local fellows in what is sure to be a smash hit as the opening performance of the festival.
