Finian’s Rainbow

Magnet schools such as the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts is a central feature of an arts learning corridor around the Connecticut state capitol. This classic from the American musical tradition tells the story of an Irishman who comes to the United States to bury a pot of gold stolen from a leprechaun. He believes that if he buries the gold in the soil of Fort Knox, it will grow and multiply, allowing him to live a life of luxury in America. The entire play is linked here.
