Dara Culhane (Sociology & Anthropology) performed her one-woman play, "Hear Me Looking At You", at the Hudson Guild Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on December 27 and 28, 2013; dramaturgy and direction by Noah Drew, Theatre Department, Concordia University, Montreal.

"Hear Me Looking At You" is a performance of dramatic storytelling based on Culhane's archival and ethnographic research in Ireland that explores questions about exile and home, imagination and memory, ethnography and performance.

Sample audience feedback comments:

• "Thank you for having the personal courage to prepare this show for public audiences to experience, and for the wisdom to recognize in this material something truly illuminating."
• "Moving, provocative, dramatic, FUNNY! NOT sentimenal: what political storytelling should be!"
