Rattlin’ of the Joists’ – 22nd Annual Performance for Bloomsday!

Join us at the Irish American Heritage Center as we celebrate the publication of Joyce’s Ulysses and for our 22nd annual Bloomsday event! Rattlin’ of the Joists’, directed by Josephine Craven, has been honoring Bloomsday for over two decades with readings, music and song.

Bloomsday is observed throughout the world on June 16th as a commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce, during which the events in his novel are relived. The date was chosen by Joyce as it was the date of his first outing with the great love of his life, Nora Barnacle. Fraught with controversy, most countries denounced Ulysses as amoral and blasphemous – and what could be wrong with that?

Join in the celebration Friday, June 16th at 7:00pm in the McGinty Room of the Irish American Heritage Center.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Purchase here, or by calling 773-282-7035, ext 10. Performers donate their time so all proceeds can contribute to the cultural mission of the IAHC.
