In celebration of Catherine O’Connell’s 50th Anniversary of being crowned Queen of Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade Hibernian Media presents a special screening of Mike Houlihan’s hit comic documentary HER MAJESTY’ ‘DA QUEEN on Friday March 20th at 7PM at Gaelic Park. This film has screened previously on WTTW Channel 11 in Chicago and audiences love sharing in all the drama, excitement and hilarity that comes with each Queen contest. Former Queen Elyse Lyons specifically requested this screening as part of our Monthly Movie Hooley at Gaelic Park and we have responded! Many former Queens and contestants will be in attendance and we invite YOU to join them in the audience that night on Friday March 20th
That’s why we do the Monthly Movie Hooley. Shared humanity and love of Irish storytelling. Being part of something bigger than your solitary self, something the entire room feels at the same time, laughter, heart ache, pathos, humor, irony, uniquely Irish vibes!
Sure you could watch it at home alone. But you can’t beat sitting in an audience of like-minded folks sharing in a great story. When an audience all at once erupts in laughter, you feel it. When it gets quiet and you might hear the low murmurs of compassion, a sniffle of understanding running through the crowd, or a groan of shock and awe and then gut busting laughter?
That’s what we crave. And that’s what the Monthly Movie Hooley delivers with our Irish films. It’s almost like a good mass, with a room full of ardent believers. You feel the presence of the Divine. You see it, hear it, and every person in the room feels it simultaneously. Get some, this weekend at the Monthly Irish Movie Hooley.
Friday night at Chicago Gaelic Park on March 20th. Call Gaelic Park at 708-687-9323 to purchase tix of get your tix at the door!
See you at the Movies!
