Popcorn Falls is a small town whose only claim to fame, their namesake waterfall, has dried up.

Led by the mayor and the local handyman, the enterprising townsfolk rise to the challenge and prove that art can save the world! Broadway World called it “laugh-out-loud, comedic genius.” Oh – and did we mention that the 20 characters are played by just two actors?!!
