Welcome to Popcorn Falls, a small American town
whose only claim to fame – their namesake waterfall
– has dried up. Now bankrupt, their last chance is a
large grant that can only be used if the town produc-
es a play in a week. One big problem: no playhouse.
Another problem: no play.
Led by the Mayor and the local handyman, the en-
terprising townsfolk try to rise to the challenge and
prove that art can save the world.
