Performance Of Finian's Rainbow Missitucky, USA was the set- ting of Finian's Rainbow. There Finian plants a pot o' gold, con- vinced that it is the gold buried at Fort Knox that makes Americans rich. But being a poor man, Finian has ,to steal the gold from a lepre- chaun who follows him to America to reclaim it. Once there, he has more problems with a Iovelorn daughter and share croppers who are losing their land. High points of the performance included the song and dance of the Passion Pilgrim Gospeleers, and the scene where, after Susan kisses him, Og exclaims, Fairyland was never like this! Student improvisation added a lot to the comedy of the musical. A sagging lawn swing, Flip Wilson handshake, and out stretched clinched fist at strategic points made the performance a Roseburg Special. This musical, first produced 15 years ago, was still relevant because racism and poverty still exist. Indignantly, Finian fKeith Millerj denies having stolen the pot 'o gold from Og tRoy Foxj.
