WILLIAMSTON—Williamston Theatre closes out its thirteenth season with Popcorn Falls by James Hindman. Performances begin Thursday, June 20 and run through Sunday, July 28.

The sleepy town of Popcorn Falls is forced into bankruptcy when a neighboring town threatens to turn them into a sewage treatment plant. Their only hope – OPEN A THEATRE and produce a play in a week to earn a grant! 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. This show is a co-production with Tipping Point Theatre in Northville.
