An Irish Christmas

Holiday merriment will overflow at the downtown Balboa Theatre on December 13 at 2pm, when An Irish Christmas will be theatrically recreated. A performance brimming with music, dance, and storytelling promises to spread cheer in what will be a celebratory look at a festive night in Ireland. Since the Irish are legendary storytellers, the tales are sure to be on a grand scale. Special guest performers include button accordion wizard David Munnelly, flutist Kieran Munnelly, Irish fiddler Kathleen Keane, three Irish sisters who form the singing group Sirocco, and The Kerry Dance Troupe. A large number of singers and actors will join the group on stage to create sparkling Irish revelry. (619/570-1100, www.sandiegotheatres.org)   DARLENE G. DAVIES
