‘THE RISING’ AT THE ICEHOUSE: A rebel’s granddaughter joins the cast of “The Rising” to tell about her grandfather’s role in the Easter Rebellion

At one of last year’s popular performances of the regionally produced play, “The Rising”, playwright and director Ara Barlieb was in for a surprise: Fiona Sweeney, granddaughter of Peter Paul Galligan, one of the key Irish rebels, was in the audience and told Barlieb she loved the show.

This year, it was Sweeney who got the surprise: Barlieb wrote her into the play as one of the women who attached themselves to the cause.

For the second year, Crowded Kitchen Players will recount the story of the spirited men and women who stood up to fight. This reprise of their 2022 production of “The Rising: The Irish Rebellion in Song and Verse” runs March 16-19, in The Charles A. Brown Ice House in Bethlehem.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. March 16-18 and 2 p.m. March 19. For information and tickets, call 610-704-6974 or visit www.ckplayers.com.
