Area performer to create 'Celtic Magic' in New Haven
Show focuses on beauty of Irish culture
Ansonia magician Daniel GreenWolf will bring his Irish-themed show "Celtic Magic" back to Lyric Hall Theater in New Haven for a limited four-show run on St. Patrick's Day weekend, March 16 and 17.
Shows are at 4 and 8 p.m.
Known for performing at Renaissance faires and festivals across the United States, GreenWolf has created a show with a theme that focuses on the beauty and magic of the Irish culture.
GreenWolf said his Irish heritage was the inspiration for writing the show.
"There's just so much beauty in Irish mythology and history that is intertwined with magic," said the Waterbury-born wizard. "I was surprised to see that no had created a show like this before."
The show will be combining Celtic tales, music and themes into a high-energy, 80-minute performance.
Celtic Magic will take place at Lyric Hall Theatre in New Haven, a restored 50-seat theater made to recreate the atmosphere of a 19th century parlour stage.
"This allows the audience to get up close and personal with the magic in a way you couldn't do in a big space," GreenWolf said. He said the show will be appropriate for all ages, despite a few dangerous feats performed during it.

This is Celtic Magic's second run at Lyric Hall Theatre,
initially premiering back in December. "We had such a great response,
even despite a terrible winter storm in the middle of the run," Greenwolf said.
This time, Lyric Hall Theatre is offering
a complimentary beer tasting from a local brewery an hour before
showtime (only those over 21 will be allowed to partake) to
add to the St. Patrick's Day festivities.
Tickets are $20 for general admission
and $12 for children under 11; $15 for college students, veterans
and members of Irish organizations (IDs will be required at the door for
special discounts). Lyric Hall is located at 827 Whalley Ave.
Tickets
may be purchased at the door or online at www.bit.ly/lyrichallmagic.
