About the Show

Hailing from the North of Ireland, Cup O’ Joe is a family band, a bluegrass quartet, “The Inklings” meets Nickel Creek. . . . 

The band is made up of brothers Reuben & Benjamin Agnew, sister Tabitha Benedict; with the newest member of the family and band—Tabitha’s husband, mandolin player extraordinaire, David Benedict.

They write music inspired by C.S. Lewis, were runners-up in the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards, have toured extensively throughout Europe and the UK, but this will be their first tour stateside.

And for one special night, we’re transforming the Paradiso into a music club-cafe—with live music, room to dance, and our team of bartenders mixing your favorite cocktails!

Tell your friends, make a party of it! Families welcome, there will be a large area set aside for standing room tickets / dance party—perfect for the little ones!

Dante 360

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.” 

And so we all begin—in darkness.

Join Dante on his most famous journey through the depths of hell, levels upon levels of purgatory, finally discovering the light and glory of paradise. You will find terror in the wild beasts he meets along the way; and only moments later great hope at the strong woman, Beatrice, who leads him always upwards.

This contemporary staged performances of one of the most epic stories of the western world is an immersive, multi-dimensional production that leads you into Dantes universe. Returning to the stage for the 4th year, this year’s production.

Its heaven. It’s hell. But above all, it’s worth the trip.
