Adam Burton as Fineus the Leprechaun

Our thoughts and prayers today are with the family and friends of Adam Burton. Adam passed away yesterday. In our first two years of doing this show, Adam created and played the character of Fineus Finbarr Fergus Flannagan Fitzgerald, or “F5″ as we affectionately called him, a leprechaun who inhabited the school and helped the professors fight the evils of Persephone. We will all miss Adam’s infectious enthusiasm, his boundless creativity, his wonderful sense of humor, and his enormous talent.

Rest in peace, Adam. May the spirit of Fineus abide in the halls of Avistrum forever.
