'The Last Leprechaun' Spotted in Easton

The musical, "The Last Leprechaun," will be appearing at the Easton Middle School auditorium, Columbus Avenue, on Friday, April 29 at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 30 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and on Sunday, May 1 at 2 p.m.

"The Last Leprechaun" is the story of the only leprechaun left on earth, accidentally left behind when the other leprechauns went to live in a secret magical place beneath the earth. But this leprechaun is not exactly alone. He's being chased by a gang of angry evil fairies who had been denied access to the underworld, as well as a greedy Irishman who plans to make his fortune by capturing the leprechaun and his gold. Molly O'Brien, a young American girl visiting her relatives in Ireland, helps the leprechaun reunite with his friends and family.

This production is being put on by Easton Children’s Theatre, an award-winning youth theater company. The actors are students from Easton and many of the surrounding towns. In addition to a lot of singing and dancing leprechauns and fairies, this production features Irish step dancers from several local troupes.

Tickets are $10 at the door. For information regarding reserved seating tickets, go to ECTheatre.org.
