With a sparkling score of beloved standards and a whimsical story that dances between romance, satire and fairy tale, FINIAN’S RAINBOW is a musical theater treasure!

Set in the mythical southern state of Missitucky, FINIAN'S RAINBOW pits a charming Irish dreamer and his headstrong daughter against the host of complications that await them in their newly adopted land: a bigoted southern Senator, a credit crisis, a pesky leprechaun and, of course, a complicated love affair that gives birth to some of the most witty, charming and heartfelt songs ever written for the stage.

Reaching KIDS…teaching important lessons

We have the power to deepen students’ understanding of themselves and our current world through the medium of theatre. With fun, laughter and an uplifting story, FINIAN’S RAINBOW breaks barriers and raises poignant, topical issues.

Some THEMES: racial harmony, justice, social equality, abuse of power, living beyond one’s means, the notion of HOPE and HOME, the importance of LISTENING to one’s heart, and the ability to find peace and happiness with the important and simple things in life.

Our show offers a perfect opportunity for classroom teachers to incorporate arts education into their curriculum with fun, yet equally meaningful material. Used as an educational tool, FINIAN’S RAINBOW will stimulate students’ imagination, creativity and critical thinking through active engagement and exploration of these challenging issues.
