JIM IRELAND (King Henry IV, 2H4) first appeared on the Labuda stage with “a beard coming” in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1987 and in PSF’s inaugural season where he also directed the Festival’s first Green Show. Most cherished Shakespearean roles are Sir Andrew Aguecheek (dir. Gregory Doran, RSC), Malvolio (New York), Mercutio (Tour) and King Lear’s Fool (Orlando Shakespeare Theater). Off-Broadway credits include The Shawl (dir. Sidney Lumet), and Motherbird (Original cast) by Craig Lucas. Jim played opposite Phylicia Rashad in Every Tongue Confess (dir. Kenny Leon) at Arena Stage and was a member of the Lab Theater (formerly Circle Rep) where he workshopped plays for fellow members Terrance McNally, Craig Lucas, William Hoffman and Lanford Wilson. Jim’s voice can be heard most recently in Marvel’s Wolverine, and most previously, with Coleen Dewhurst in A Door in the Wall, a radio drama on NPR.
