Irish Players of Rochester

The Irish Players of Rochester is a program of the Rochester Communitry Players, founded in 1997 by Peter Scribner. The program presents one play each spring of Irish or Irish-American playwrights. After performing locally, we take our production 'on the road' to the Acting Irish International Theatre Festival (AIITF.)  In recent years, our Irish Players program has performed in Florida, Chicago, and Milwaukee, as well as in Canada in Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. In 2008, we hosted the AIITF in Riochester.  In 2012, the AIITF will be held in Dublin, Ireland.
