Re: Irish Variety Show on October
25, 2010 @ Pope John Paul II High School
Dear Barry and cast
Thank
you for a wonderful evening of entertainment. The music, dance, harpist and of course, the jokes were enjoyed by everyone.
The cast are extremely talented and the performances were exceptional. The cast were very entertaining and really engaged
the audience. We had many guests with Irish roots, but I think we all felt a wee bit Irish! We’ve received so many accolades
about the Variety Show that we cannot thank you enough for providing a very entertaining evening for our guests. Your
support is greatly appreciated by the families, students and faculty of Sacred Heart Parish and School.
Sincerely,
Pam Galbraith on behalf of:Reverend Peter DiMaria, Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, Royersford, Pennsylvania Sacred Heart School Principal - Mary Mooney Sacred Heart Home & School Board - Bernadette
Harvey, Terri McKendry, Jean McMenamin, Lauren Machita, Pam Galbraith
 Barry-
I suppose by now you and the troupe are back safe in beautiful Ireland. I
wrote to thank you all for a wonderful evening!
Our folks are still
raving about it! Besides having a great time, we managed to raise about $4400
for the parish,
money much needed.
God bless all of you!

MID WEST TOUR
Feb 26 to March 11 2009
We started in OMAHA NE in the snow and finished in ROCKFORD IL in the rain in temperatures
ranging from -10c to +20c We played
the CORANADO THEATER in ROCKFORD IL. on Sunday afternoon March 8th to an audience of 1800+
The CORONADO was opened in 1927 as a Music Hall and Bob
Hope was the first act on stage. For the next 50 years anyone who was anyone in the entertainment world trod the boards. It
then became a Movie House and then fell into disrepair and in the '90s a fund was started to restore it to it's original
splendour $21,000,000
was raised and in 2001 the Theatre re-opened as a Regional Arts Centre. In the next month audiences will see not only the IRISH
VARIETY SHOW but RIVERDANCE, THE CZECH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, GORDAN LIGHTFOOT and his BAND and the GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA to
mention but a few
