I'm serious...get er booked

Such a flash back for all of us who either prayed to get picked and those who actually did go to America

It's amazing to see through adult eyes the childhood we survived so nonchalantly
We were a hardy bunch
We should be proud of our wee selves 🙌

A great excuse for a Project Children reunion. I worked on the program for the DC Chapter in 1999 as part of what is now Washington Ireland Program. My novel, A Belfast Tale, was informed by the experience. I haven't seen the production yet, but congrats to Finn Kennedy on the project!

Only 2 weeks to go until the hilarious, powerful and epic ‘Project Children’ opens on the main stage of the Lyric Theatre Belfast 🤩
