Canton, MA, October 13, 2023 -- Local audiences will have the opportunity to travel back in time for a uniquely Irish experience – life in Dorchester, 1965. The Irish Cultural Centre, working with True Rep Theatre, presents Ellen’s Boys, by Braintree, MA playwright Jim Sullivan. Tickets are $25 general admission, $20 ICC members, $30 at the door. Ellen’s Boys focuses on the Flaherty family, living in their Dorchester triple decker, in 1965. Ellen, a widow who has raised six children on her own, must learn to accept the changing times and her aging children’s embrace of the future.
