The musical comedy is based on “three hilarious and action-packed Irish folk tales set to music,” according to a release. “The story starts when a trio of wild and crazy leprechauns try to help tongue-tied shepherd Fin O’Grady learn to tell a story to help him win the hand of his one true love.”
The production features song, slapstick and other forms of humor. Curtain times are 7 p.m. March 16 and 17, as well as 2 p.m. March 18. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for senior and students. They will be available at the door. The play will take place in the basement of St. John the Baptist Church, 39 Pleasant St.
