Why see Popcorn Falls?
The Power Of The Arts
Two-time Tony-winning actor Christian Borle (Something Rotten!, Peter and the Starcatcher) dons his directorial hat for the first time in New York as he directs James Hindman's brand new play, Popcorn Falls this October.
Starring Broadway alums Tom Souhrada (Mary Poppins), Adam Heller (Shoulda Been You) Popcorn Falls tells the story of how one town embraces the arts to keep them from the brink of destruction.
What is Popcorn Falls about?
Popcorn Falls' claim to fame, their namesake waterfall, has dried up, now completely bankrupt the towns-people must rely on a large grant to keep them afloat, but the only way to get it is to make a play in a week. With no theatre and no play the towns-people battle against the odds and rise to the challenge, proving how the arts can really change the world.

A Funny, Sweet, and Touching Balm for the Soul
Popcorn Falls is an hysterically funny, sweet and surprisingly touching play that transports
you to another world for 80 minutes. You will love spending time with the myriad folks of
this little town that could, each one beautifully written by Jim HIndman, and brilliantly
embodied by Adam Heller and Tom Souhrada. It's a tour de force for these two AMAZING
actors, (Especially Souhrada who must play at least 25 different characters, each specific
and complete! ) as they tell a story that is so real, so entertaining and so perfectly silly that
it acts as a balm for the soul in these troubled times. Christian Borle's direction is crisp,
snappy, and keeps the pace brisk while still allowing these quirky characters to land. You
will laugh, you might choke up a little, and in the end, you will believe in the healing power
of theater. I can't recommend it highly enough. ... Read more

Popcorn Falls is hysterical
Popcorn Falls is a funny, clever, imaginative, and touching play given a
superb production at the Davenport theater. James Hindman's play is
marvelously inventive, Christian Borle's direction is sharp as a tack, and
the actors Adam Heller and Tom Souhrada are absolutely terrific. A
great Off B'way experience -- I loved it! The theater is small and
intimate, and it's a comedy for everyone -- PG 13! Enjoy! ... Read more
