Goodnight Irene

A celebration of the music of the Weavers, the legendary folk quartet that made famous such hits as “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine,” “If I Had a Hammer,” and the titular “Goodnight Irene.” One of the most popular folk ensembles in American history, the Weavers wrote and performed songs from around the world, bringing vitality to the American folk scene for decades, despite being blacklisted in the 1950s. Since premiering in the fall of 1994, Goodnight Irene has become one of AFT’s most popular productions, having been performed in a variety of other venues across the country and returning twice to AFT’s own stage, in summer 1996 and fall 2005.
