BRUNSWICK — Students in fourth through eighth grades at St. John’s Catholic School will present a student musical, “Once Upon A Leprechaun,” on March 16, 17 and 18 at the school on Pleasant Street.

Henry Eichmann, president of Midcoast Youth Theater, directs the production.

The musical comedy is based on “three hilarious and action-packed Irish folk tales set to music,” according to a release. “The story starts when a trio of wild and crazy leprechauns try to help tongue-tied shepherd Fin O’Grady learn to tell a story to help him win the hand of his one true love.”

The production features song, slapstick and other forms of humor. Curtain times are 7 p.m. March 16 and 17, as well as 2 p.m. March 18. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for senior and students. They will be available at the door. The play will take place in the basement of St. John the Baptist Church, 39 Pleasant St.
