BETWEEN THE BARS (suspended until further notice)

​

In the Visit Room of the county jail, five stories emerge between inmates and their visitors. In these moments, human connections are cherished, and fragile. Every sense is heightened, yet every wound festers, every fear looms, and every possible threat feels menacing. Still, love endures and hope curves towards faith despite all indicators. And we bear witness to the high price paid for criminal justice in our prison system.

Popcorn Falls is in crisis! The county’s diverting the water from the Falls to turn it into a sewage treatment plant. But the good citizens of Popcorn are not going down without a fight. If they can put on a play in one week, they’ll get a grant that will save the town. Two actors play all the zany townsfolk in this hilarious and  warm-hearted comedy.
