Belfast, 1979. At the height of the Troubles, two off-duty British soldiers think they’ve hit it off with two local girls at a unionist pub on the city’s outskirts. But what begins as a night of flirtation and playful sparring soon turns dark. Decades later, as one of the soldiers recounts the events for an American oral history project, long-buried memories resurface, drawing him back to Belfast in search of answers and revenge. Joining the production will be Rebecca Ballinger (How the Sausage Gets Made), who will take over the role of Emily, previously played by Molly Ranson. The Honey Trap was first presented as a staged reading at Irish Rep in 2024 as part of the New Works Fall Festival. Its world premiere was in 2023 with Solas Nua in Washington, DC.

Join us at The Long Hall for an unforgettable Irish music session featuring the soulful sounds of Jake James and the spirited playing of Cara Wildman. Expect rich vocals, stirring fiddle and guitar, and that spontaneous trad magic that only a live session can bring. With pints flowing and good company all around, it’s the perfect way to soak up authentic Celtic vibes in the heart of NYC. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the scene, this session promises warm energy, lively tunes, and plenty of craic.

This exhibit, running through the course of 2026, uses the archives of the American Irish Historical Society to display the history of Irish America. 250 years after 1776, we look back on the contributions and stories of Irish emigrants and their descendants in American history. In collaboration with Irish America 250, this is part of a series of events and exhibits throughout 2026. This launch will feature a brief lecture on the planned exhibit--featuring 12 themes for 2026 and a view of the January exhibit theme, “Revolutionary Heroes.”
