The Irondale Ensemble Project is as close as we come these days to the Elizabethan acting companies that once presented Shakespeare’s plays to the Earl of Leicester, Sir Francis Drake and the Virgin Queen of England. ...What is on offer is the miracle of the word made flesh. I wish you joy in it.” —Lewis Lapham, editor of Lapham’s Quarterly

Irondale’s Surprise Balls

Surprise!

May 19th at 8PM

Now that Irondale has it's own home, we want to offer our friends exciting extras. It may be an open rehearsal, a one-night only performance, or our own version of Inside tha Actors' Studio. Whatever it is, we promise it will be fun, but you won't know what you will see until you show up for the event.

On May 19th, you can get a taste of next year's Surprise Ball* Series. We can't tell you what it is, since that will spoil the surprise, but we can give you a couple of hints. It stars Johnny Heyward and Joseph Anthony Byrd and you have this one night to see it before it goes to the Spoletto Festival! This is a free event that is open to everyone so come and bring a friend for a thrilling night of theater.

*For those you who were unlucky enough never to receive one, a surprise ball is made up of crepe paper streamers that ares rolled up with lots of little surprises. As you unroll it, all sorts of prizes would come out!

When: Tuesday, May 19th at 8PM
