Santa Monica, CA, February 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series presents “A Bit of Irish,” Chris Sullivan’s always raucous St. Patrick’s Day hooley (party) and celebration of Ireland in songs, poems, limericks and stories, for one night only Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 at 8:00 PM.

Irish actor-singer-raconteur Chris Sullivan, in what has become a much anticipated tradition, returns to Santa Monica Playhouse for the ninth year running with his St. Patrick’s Night inspired celebration of all things Irish.
