Muses, Music, and Dramatic Readings from James Joyce’s Ulysses

(The Circ Bar opens at 6:00 p.m.)

Sojourn though the streets of Dublin with Leopold Bloom and other characters featured in James Joyce’s quintessential novel Ulysses and other works. The evening includes dramatic readings and song performed by Bruce Bierman, John Ilyin, Esther Mulligan, Melanie O’Reilly, Josiah Polhemus, and Laura Sheppard. Fiddler Anne Goess, flutist Jason Pollack, and guitarist Will Wheeler offer lively accompaniment with a selection of traditional and well known Irish music.

This year’s Bloomsday Celebration will be held in Mechanics’ Institute’s glorious 2^nd floor Library and performed “in the round”. The Circ Bar will have a special Bloomsday Menu available!
