OXFORD, CT - Get whisked away by the music and spirit of the Emerald Isle, as Oxford Center School presents Bill Francouer’s, “Once Upon a Leprechaun,” April 4th–6th, 2013.
An original musical based on Irish Folk tales, this theatrical offering conveys the story of a tongue-tied shepherd, Fin O’Grady who must learn to tell a good story in order to win the heart and hand of his dear Pegeen. Clever leprechauns, Blather, Blarney, and Balderdash teach him how to spin a good tale by offering sample stories of their own. Through it all, the shy Fin discovers that a story is a treasure that increases the more you share it!
This uplifting, comic musical glitters like a gem with its winsome Celtic melodies, clever dialogue, and slapstick humor that will inspire many a chuckle in the wee as well as the old! Shows will be offered to the general public on Thursday and Friday, April 4th and 5th at 7:00 p.m., with a Saturday matinee on April 6th at 2:00 p.m.
