Where's Darby O' Gill when you need him? A 4-day entertainment forecast

If you learn any lesson from Disney's classic Darby O' Gill and the Little People (a film that featured a young Sean Connery), let it be that you learn to be wary of accidentally stumbling into an underground leprechaun kingdom on your journey home after work. Although your discovery might make you rich beyond your wildest dreams in a world where the beer flows in fountains, you will never be allowed to leave the land of the leprechauns and the incessant fiddling will give you a nasty ol' headache.
