‘Popcorn Falls’ comes to the Off Broadway Palm Theatre

The Off Broadway Palm Theatre is staging Popcorn Falls now through Nov. 18. Written by James Hindman, Popcorn Falls is a mile-a-minute two-man show that proves art can save the world.

Welcome to Popcorn Falls, a sleepy American town that is forced into bankruptcy when their only claim to fame, their namesake waterfall, dries up. Their only hope is a chance for a grant – if they can open a theater and put on a play. Just two actors play over 20 roles in this farce that BroadwayWorld called a “laugh-out-loud comedic genius.”

Directing Popcorn Falls is Off Broadway Palm artistic director Paul Bernier. The cast includes Jenny Smith who has appeared at the Off-Broadway Palm in Funny Money; Caught in the Net; Farce of Nature; Doublewide, Texas; Always a Bridesmaid. Other theater credits includes The Schoolhouse Theatre, Theatre Conspiracy, St. Louis Actors’ Studio, Fort Peck Summer Theatre.
