Popcorn Falls

ZANY, MAGICAL, CHARMING OFF-BROADWAY COMEDY

By James Hindman

Welcome to Popcorn Falls, a small American town whose only claim to fame – their namesake waterfall – has dried up. The sleepy town has been forced into bankruptcy by a neighboring town and their last chance is a large grant that can only be used if the town opens a theater and produces a play in a week. One big problem: no playhouse. Another problem: no play. Led by the Mayor and the local handyman, the enterprising townsfolk try to rise to the challenge.

Two actors play over twenty roles in a world of farce, love, and desperation, proving once and for all that art can save the world.

Author James Hindman is an award-winning playwright and actor. As a writer, his New York credits include: Popcorn Falls, directed by two-time Tony Award Winner Christian Borle; Pete ‘n’ Keely, Outer Critics Award nomination, two Drama Desk nominations; The Audience, Drama Desk nomination.
