The Legend of Finn MacCool, the Irish Giant

From the mists of Time, where history and myth meet to dance a dance of wonder and joy, comes this giant of a tale from Ireland. A roaring musical comedy for all ages, with giants, druids, and some tricky, tricky wishes...

This Arís original was created by our very own Rob Shaw-Smith, who has taken something ancient and legendary, and dolled it up with music and humor that will have audiences tapping their toes and splitting their sides. There's something magical for everyone in The Legend of Finn McCool!

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring the theatrical and literary traditions, mythology, and storytelling from and about Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England to Atlanta. Aris presents full productions and staged readings of contemporary and classical plays. We celebrate annual events such as Burns Night and Bloomsday. We participate in other events that feature the literature, poetry, and music of the British Isles. Aris is committed to breathing fresh life into timeless classics as well as introducing our audience to the work of new and emerging contemporary playwrights.
