Teenager Jimmy, his younger sister and their widowed mother travel the Irish fairs vending their wares. Disaster strikes when their horse Dolly is stolen "legal-like" by two shady "settled people", Jack the Halter and his cohort, Twister Joe. Jimmy takes to the road alone to retrieve Dolly. Amid many adventures, Jimmy meets good and evil characters, leprechauns and gypsies. Through the use of a charm, faith and perseverance, all obstacles are overcome, Dolly is rescued, and all ends happily. The production is enhanced by a delightful musical score of original songs and dances: solos, duets, and choruses. The Maine Youth Ensemble premiered THE SHAMROCK ROAD and enjoyed a great success.
