With Irish emigration at its core, Parcel From America weaves a musical story of loved ones who were forced to leave and those who had to stay behind, and the great power and significance of one particular parcel sent home from America. The writing team for Parcel From America is an International blend. The story is by Tom�seen Foley from rural West Limerick.. The book and lyrics are by award-winning playwriting team Jahnna Beecham, Michael J. Hume and Malcolm Hillgartner, whose musicals have been produced all over the US and Canada and are published by Concord Theatricals and Broadway Licensing. The songs and arrangements are by Hillgartner and Dublin's Kevin Corcoran, who tours with Conor O'Brien's Villagers whose album Fever Dreams was a 2021 nominee for Best Album of the Year in Ireland. This collective has been working on the musical for almost 4 years with workshops at the New Theatre in Dublin, Irish Theatre Chicago, and Mountain the Richard Hay Theatre in Ashland, Oregon. They are thrilled to premiere this musical in Ireland, where the story is rooted, and particularly Dublin, where their journey began.All of the playwrights' royalties will go to the International Rescue Committee Ukraine.
