More than 50 talented students from local Catholic grade schools, including St. Pius X, Sacred Heart, and Kingswood Academy will come together to prepare this exciting performance.

Hot on their heels is Og, a leprechaun, intent on recovering his treasure before its loss turns him permanently human.
