BLOOMSDAY IN BROOKLYN

Bloomsday in Brooklyn

Saturday, June 14th, 2:00 p.m.

 

Bloomsday is a celebration of Irish writer James Joyce’s Ulysses and its protagonist, Leopold Bloom. Join The Society of Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Brooklyn for its fifteenth annual celebration of Bloomsday on Saturday, June 14th.

 

Meet at Nitehawk Cinema at 2:00 p.m. and then move on to Farrell's Bar at 3:00 p.m. and the Knights of Columbus Hall at 4:00 p.m.

 

Readings and music (including music by Donie Carroll) are all on the day's agenda. Donations for the music are welcome. Each location will have a cash bar.

 

Ulysses takes place on a single day, June 16th, 1904, so Bloomsday's official date is June 16th of each year,

WHEN WINDSOR TERRACE WAS WHOLE

"Stoopdreamer"

Saturday, January 13th, 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, January 14th, 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Sure, everything changes--for better or for worse. But forced change can be so much harder to take.

Step into the Windsor Terrace of long ago, a neighborhood not yet divided by the open wound called the Prospect Expressway, before blocks of houses, factories, and stores fell victim to Robert Moses' transportation system modernization schemes.

Yes, the Robert Moses who some also blame for the departure of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

For the construction of the depressed (i.e., not street-level) highway, largely Irish and Italian blue-collar immigrants and their descendants lost 400 houses--home to 1,252 families.

In his play "Stoopdreamer," Windsor Terrace native son Patrick Fenton reflects on the community that was Windsor Terrace, altered first by the expressway and then, more recently, by gentrification.

Fenton sets the play in Farrell's Bar & Grill, a neighborhood landmark that's held its own on Prospect Park West since 1933, surviving all of the changes inflicted on the community. The owner/bartender, a resident, and a former resident are guides through Windsor Terrace, past and present.

The play is the Holy Name Fundraising Committee's first event. A portion of the ticket price will be donated to Holy Name Church.

Purchase tickets online via Eventbrite for $30 each plus a $3.72 fee. Tickets are also being sold at Holy Name Rectory and Farrell's.

Beer and wine will be available at a cash bar during the pre-show. 

Location 

Shepherd's Hall 
Holy Name of Jesus Roman Catholic Church 
245 Prospect Park West 
between Prospect Avenue and Windsor Place
Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn

Enter Shepherd's Hall through the parking lot next to the church.
