Last night.

The Barnsdall Theatre, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Dubliner Philip McMahon directed scenes from 10 Irish plays in a showcase titled “Beauty Queens and Playboys” as part of the ongoing festivities for IrelandWeek.

The sell out night saw several standing ovations from a sell out crowd lapping up all that is great and good in Irish Theatre both past, and VERY present…

    Philly McMahon also partners with Buzz on a number of club nights- might be worth mentioning that they are not just mates but business partners when you post his glowing report.

      All that with 6 All – Ireland’s and 2 All – Stars?*

      *not including 10 Provincial, 5 League titles, Sports Book of the year 2017, etc

    About as un-Hollwood as it gets……

    When it says ‘sold out’ are they selling tickets at this free theatre ?

    “The Barnsdall Gallery Theatre (BGT) is owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affair’s Community Arts Division as a low ­priced rental house available for live theatre, dance, music, spoken word, lecture, film and special events.”

        you get what you ‘pay’ for-link above.

        “The Theatre’s goal is to encourage community and professional producers to present artistic and diverse cultural events at the lowest possible admission price to maximize attendance and audience engagement.”

        They had it for an hour.

        Quick update on my dive into this-reviewed Cali corporate fillings for O’Neill group and was shocked, shocked I tell you to find photographer and hubby to Deidre-Dean Machin listed as CFO.

        Hopefully he’s looking after all the Irish state money better than his photographic career……

        -updates and deep dive to follow.

          I have two questions:

          1. Is your ego so fragile that a careless word from someone on an online forum sends you into this sort of tunnel visioned autistic rage

          and

          2. Why do you think anyone cares?

          3. Brother Barnabas

            i’m not straying accidentally anywhere, johnny. i think your stuff on DOB is interesting. and worthwhile. in this instance, you’re being silly.

          4. rotide

            “try not stray accidentally into the crosshairs….”

            Are you for real?

            I thought we got over threating people on the internet 10 years ago.

            Come on then, throw your impotent rage my way

            1-I don’t really have much of an ego, a quite humble vegan, surfer type, who likes to read and listen music.
            2-see 1 above, as such why would I care what other people think, thats just a waste time and energy, maybe one day you won’t either:)

            In the meantime, dial back the vitroil or stay off the halloween candy and try have some decorum, if you want engagement.This is a sympathy response,I feel sorry for all the effort you’re putting in to get my attention.

            An engineer designing cannabis growing houses in Colorado, no wait LA, no wait, definitely Colorado.

            A bully who attempts to shout down other commentators on this site on a regular basis.

            Some of the above is true. Peace Love? You sure as hell don’t show much of it on Broadsheet but then again, you probably don’t remember what you said even ten minutes ago.

            Get a flucking life johnny. Get your act together.

            Envy is a reaction to lacking something, get well soon,namaste:)

            “Over-comparing causes envy. Envy is the feeling or sensation we have when we want to get something that someone else has and we can’t be happy for them when they have it.

            Getting stuck in a cycle of envy is just about the best way to ruin your life. Fortunately, there are several ways to deal with envy that will guide you toward happiness and well-being.”

            “One of the reasons we feel envy is that we often take the good things in our own lives for granted.
            The happier you are with your lot in life, the more good things will come to you. Happiness studies show that truly happy people are not necessarily wealthy, powerful, or famous.”

            Link above-try not compare and despair all the time, its very unhealthy.

      i was going to make a “that’s not how homosexuality works” joke but thought better of it

      Good question Eoin-I don’t believe so-the relatives here are Deirdre O’Neill Machin and hubby Dean who own and run O’Neill PR in Newport Beach and Buzz,based in Dublin.
      Newport Beach is about 2 hours from LA.
      My interest is in the amount off money the Irish state (that be you guys) is ‘investing’ in launching this start up with global ambitions,you guys probably got equity in this private company !

      “We started a new project last year called Ireland Week in Los Angeles, and my brother in Ireland is a co-founder of the project. It happened last October and was very successful for a first-time event. I’m really looking to build on that, and maybe even take it to other cities in the US and overseas.”
