On Sunday, June 11, at the Church Street Theater in Washington DC, Keegan's founder and Artistic Director Mark A. Rhea officiated the drawing for Keegan's 2006 Ireland Tour raffle. The winning ticket was drawn from more than 350 entries.  The winner, Jeremy O'Connor, has won a trip for two to Galway, Ireland, in October 2006.  Transportation and accommodations are included in this prize, as well as tickets to see Keegan's production of Death of a Salesman at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway and dinner with the cast and crew.

Mark Rhea called Mr. O'Connor from the theatre lobby and told him he had just won a trip to Ireland.  Mark then held out the telephone and the audience gathered at Church Street gave a loud celebratory cheer.  Mr. O'Connor, after recovering from his surprise, said to Mark, "Man, you just made my life -- I have always wanted to go to Ireland!"

Mr. O'Connor purchased his raffle ticket at the Ireland's Four Courts in Arlington, VA. 
Jimmy Fagan, the owner of Ireland's Four Courts, is a member of Keegan's Board of Directors, and Four Courts is an official sponsor of The Keegan Theatre. 

Keegan will hold another raffle for their 2007 Ireland Tour.  Stay tuned!
