LA CROSSE, Wis. – The outstanding dancers, singers, and musicians of Celtic Nights will present Oceans of Hope—The Epic Journeys of Our Ancestorsat 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28 in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.

Oceans of Hope—The Epic Journeys of Our Ancestorscaptures the very essence of Irish history. Through music, song, and dance, audiences will be taken on a journey through the struggles and dreams of a people fighting for liberty, freedom, dignity, and above all, family. The production is the story of America, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand; a story of a people moving across oceans from all nations in hopes for a better and brighter future.

“Celtic Nights have brought our distinctive and evolving music and dance tradition to the world stage andshowcased our tradition in spectacular fashion,” said Enda Kenny, former Prime Minister of Ireland.

This performance is part of Viterbo’s Bright Star Season and is sponsored by InTech Integrated Marketing Services and in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
