The Keegan Theatre is thrilled to announce the launch of its KEEGAN THEATRE new island project, which will produce under the leadership of its artistic directors Kerry Waters Lucas and Eric Lucas, who are both Keegan company members. Keegan’s New Island, which will be dedicated to producing Irish works in minimal settings, will perform all shows in its inaugural season at Arlington’s Theatre on the Run. 

new island’s mission: To create a theatre landscape where a predominately gray palate provides an open setting where actor and word are the strongest colors to tell the story. This gray world, in which characterization can emerge, provides an experience, reminding us of what one of the greatest gifts, Irish plays can offer –an immediacy of story which is raw, bold, and engaging.
