The Humours of Bandon
A coming-of-age story, The Humours of Bandon is an award-winning play, full of heart, humor and wisdom, for anyone who had a childhood passion that threatened to overwhelm their life.
Annie is a 16-year-old Irish Dancer from Dublin and the Play starts on the eve of the biggest competition of her life, the Irish Open Championships 1999. She charts through the various successes and disappointments of her Irish Dancing life. The performance shares her mind-numbing commitment and burning desire to win the coveted Irish Open title. Will she win and, if so, in what way?

Know before you go:
From the confines of every community hall in Ireland, Irish Dancing champions are churned out at a massive rate. Medals and cups build up in drawing rooms and Riverdance swells a national pride, but the public aren’t privy to the blood, sweat and tears that pave the way to the first place podium.

Once upon a time, Debbi and Paul Brainerd had a big, bold vision. The vision was to preserve and transform 255 acres of forest slated for residential development into an environmental center for children without access to outdoor learning. In 2002, after much hard work and immense generosity from early supporters, IslandWood opened its doors to students and educators.
In the twenty years since, IslandWood has exponentially grown from a pilot program located on Bainbridge Island to a nationally recognized organization leading innovative work in multiple locations throughout the Puget Sound region.
