According to the Collingswood Foundation for the Arts:

The classic Irish ballad “Finnegan’s Wake” is transformed into the Irish version of “one of those Italian Weddings,” only in place of the nuptials, there’s a funeral. It’s an interactive dinner theater so the audience is part of the act!

Audiences will have the opportunity to pay their respects to poor Sean Patrick Finnegan, give a eulogy, or tell their favorite Irish joke. There’s no telling what may happen when Sean’s crazy family and his outrageous friends come together at his funeral.

The event includes original music by the Barley Boys (led by Mike Babick) as well as an Irish buffet and full bar.

Tickets can be purchased by calling The Collingswood Grand Ballroom and Scottish Rite Theater at 856-858-1000, ext. 210.
