The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Fall in love with the story of an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant who connect over their shared passion for music on the streets of Dublin. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated romance, accentuated by the inviting, emotional score that earned an Academy Award, Grammy Award, Oliver Award and a Tony Award. Featuring all of the original songs from the critically acclaimed film, including the Oscar-winning "Falling Slowly," this achingly beautiful, joyously uplifting show strikes an unforgettable chord in audiences and speaks to the power of music to connect us all.

Audience discretion is advised.

Directed by Isaac Lamb. Book by Enda Walsh. Music and Lyrics by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. LEN HANSARD & Markéta Irglová. Based on the motion picture written and directed by John Carney.

From Oregon Arts Watch:

Based on a surprise film hit from 2007, this low-key tale of tentative romance between a Dublin busker and a young Czech immigrant proved as endearing onstage as on screen, winning the 2012 Tony Award for best musical. Having the terrific Irish playwright Enda Walsh write the adaptation has to have helped. But in any case, how could you resist a show with a song called "Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy"? Isaac Lamb, who has a brilliant track record at Broadway Rose with just this sort of sweet, off-beat musical, directs.
