Tisbury becomes Dublin on Wednesday night as Arts and Society — which organizes what is apparently the oldest continuous celebration of Bloomsday on the planet — presents its 32nd annual Bloomsday Celebration of Music and Drama based on the texts of James Joyce.

The program is on June 16, at 8 p.m. at Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven. All tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door.

David O’Docherty opens the evening with tin whistle and Irish flute, before Gerry Yukevich performs — these are not readings — The Boarding House from Dubliners and The Cat and the Devil with Buck Reidy. A medley of Victorian/Irish songs will feature the voices of Katrina Nevin and Buck Reidy with Phil Dietterich on piano. Madison Ibsen will play an Irish air on the viola. Natalie Rose will complete the show with her rendering of Molly from Ulysses.

This event is organized and produced by John Crelan.

The annual tradition of celebrating Bloomsday in Dublin began in 1982, at Symphony Space in New York in 1982, and by Arts and Society in Massachusetts in 1979; the now Vineyard-based program has attracted the attention of Newsweek and of many happy audience members over the years, who have watched performances by Nobel Prize-winning Seamus Heaney and three Pulitzer winners: composers Virgil Thomson, and Donald Martino, and writer Lloyd Schwartz.
