Siobhan is a cynical teen, and with her estranged father recently passing without any closure, she has every right to be. When she inherits his bungalow in Breezy Point, Queens (aka the Irish Rivera), her troubles get even more troubling. She comes across Rae - an Irish faerie that’s been trapped in the trunk under her dad's television for fifty years - who needs Siobhan’s help to get back to the Emerald Isle! They go on a whirlwind adventure, with some Breezy folks popping in and out to help tell this story of fantastical creatures and good old Irish-American Generational Trauma!
Breezy Point is written by Rosie Coursey, directed by Hannah Ciesil, and independently produced by Ayla Rosen. The show had been accepted into Origin Theatre Company’s 1st Irish Festival, a long-running theater festival in NYC devoted to showcasing Irish and Irish-American works. The show performed April 6th-8th, 13th-15th, and 27th in the upstairs space at The Churchill. The Churchill is a wonderful hub of Irish and British culture, and they are true supporters of young artists. Breezy Point was nominated for best production, and for best director. Our amazing director, Hannah Ciesil went home with the best director award!
