MOLLY MCFOLLY AND THE LITTLEST LEPRECHAUN Written by David Kaye Molly McFolly tends to act before she thinks. She also often thinks she knows more than she does. This leads to a series of follies, including the folly caused by a bit of stereotyping (as it turns out, about Leprechauns). Featuring Celtic Music and puppets, this show is about learning lessons the hard way and making unlikely friends. |
