We hope to give you and opportunity to relive Irish Day 2014, or if you happened to miss it a chance to take in the flavor of the day and make plans to attend next year.

Impossible to know exactly but the largest single day event in Calaveras County certainly lived up to it's billing and had thousands upon thousands filling Main Street. The top photo below was taken at 3:30pm looking up Main Street and well after peak crowd volume. The crowd on the street turned at least 2-3 times during the day....

Muprhys, CA ...20 years ago this May a group of friends got together to put on a play and Murphys Creek Theatre was born. The play was “Rumors”, by Neil Simon. As an homage to that auspicious beginning, MCT is once again mounting this play with several of the original cast members. “I had forgotten how funny this play actually is”, said artistic director Graham Green, “and I’m really thrilled to be working on it again. It brings back so many memories of the early days.” The returning cast members are: Sheila Doyle playing Claire Ganz, Tom White playing Ernie Cusack, and Terri Wilson (one of the co-founders) playing Cookie Cusack.
