Immersive Irish Comedy Says Cheers To Offbeat On-premise Theater

Rousculp & McMeen agree that Flanagan's Wake is one wild ride from start to finish.

New Haven funeral director David Rousculp is taking his passion for theater to work with him at the Harper's Community Funeral Home on the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day with an on-premise production of Flanagan's Wake.

Everyone is family here in the parlor, and guests are invited to join in the fun of the celebration as they warm up to the customs of the day and build the story line that accompanies Flanagan's passing.

Earlier this week WBOI's Julia Meek sat down with Rousculp and one of the play's lead actors, Scott McMeen, to discuss the reasons for celebrating in such a fashion, as well as the blarney and the blessings this interactive comedy will offer the community.
