A Hilarious Farce of Desperation and Hope
Bluffton University Theatre has announced the cast list for the spring play “Popcorn Falls” by James Hindman.
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 theater! A handful of actors play nearly 20 roles in this wacky world of farce, love and desperation, proving once and for all that art can save the world.
Cast members include students and most actors play multiple parts.

The production is directed by Dr. Melissa Friesen, professor of theatre and communication. Merv Schrock is the technical director and Brit Mustard is the costume designer. Isabel Miller is stage manager. Student theatre assistants Zael Coblentz, Chloe Haberman and Aubrie Sell lead the production team.
