The Boomerang Theatre Company presents-The Heart Has A Mind Of Its OwnSep. 14 -Sep. 30, 2007Admission: $20 CenterStage 48 W 21st Street, (4th floor) 212-501-4069 centerstageny.com  Playwright Larry Kirwan is also the front man for NY's Irish house band Black 47. Their fan base is made up of a cross section of New Yorkers from cops and firemen to your buttoned-up Wall Street types, who all have been drawn to the band for the past 20 years. On that fateful day, Kirwan and his band lost many friends and fans. The Saturday after those events, Larry and Black 47 returned to play their normal gig at Times Square's Connelly's Pub offering a bit of normalcy to a hysterical time. Set several years after the towers fell, "The Heart has a Mind of Its Own" is by, for, and about New Yorkers. Kirwan has also written a series of plays that have been produced in the U.S. and Europe, five of which were published in the book "Mad Angels" (1993). In 1998, he released his first solo album, the children's collection "Keltic Kids." "Kilroy Was Here," released in 2001, was his first solo album for adults.
