MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Broadway’s Megan Loomis Returns to Warwick with Between Two Lands: Echoes of Ireland in Story & Song
Warwick, NY – The Warwick Historical Society is thrilled to welcome back Broadway performer Megan Loomis for an unforgettable afternoon of Irish folklore and music. Following the resounding success of Legends of Warwick: Stories & Songs of the Haunted Hills, Loomis returns to the historic Old School Baptist Meeting House on Sunday, March 23, at 3:00 PM with a brand-new solo performance: Between Two Lands: Echoes of Ireland in Story & Song.
This deeply personal and captivating show explores the Irish immigrant experience through live music, history, and storytelling. Armed with multiple instruments, Loomis will take the audience on a journey across the Atlantic—from the mystical landscapes of Ireland to the struggles and triumphs of Irish settlers in America. Through traditional ballads, lively reels, and haunting melodies, she will share tales of Irish rebellion, exile, and resilience, as well as the folklore of banshees, fairies, and the legendary "American Wake"—a farewell gathering for those leaving Ireland, often never to return.

Drawing from her own Irish roots, Loomis will weave together stories of strong Irish women, the harrowing fate of County Cavan emigrants on the Titanic, and even the legacy of Typhoid Mary. From the East Durham Irish Catskills, where Irish immigrants sought familiarity in the rolling landscapes, to the canals and railroads built by those who came before us, this performance is a celebration of heritage, perseverance, and the songs that carried a nation forward. Tickets $30.00 + $1.60 service fee.
