For years, Michael Durkan has wanted to tell the story of the Irish immigrant experience in America through music, song and dance.

That's why Durkan, an Irish producer and director who masterminded the popular stage show "Gaelforce Dance," brought together the best available musicians, singers and dancers from Ireland to create "Celtic Nights: A Journey of Hope."

The production showcases the Celtic experience by recreating the immigrant journey from Ireland to America's Ellis Island and beyond.
