Surflight Theatre has announced that they will be continuing their 2023  Season with the energetic romp full of impressions, wit, and charm, Popcorn Falls.

A feel good  show with laugh out loud comedic genius!!! 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 produces a play in a week. Two big  problems: no playhouse, no play. Led by the Mayor and the local handyman, the enterprising  townsfolk try to prove that art can save the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story  online can make all the difference. 

Rose Riccardi is the director/production stage manager of this production. Riccardi is happy to  be making her debut with Surflight Theatre. Some regional credits include: The Hummingbirds (Garret Jon Groenveld), Wolf At The Door (Marisela Treviño Orta), The Housewives of  Mannheim (Alan Brody), The Little Hours (David Bucknam), Fern Hill (Michael Tucker),  Dead Ringer (Gino Dilorio), Naked By The River (Michael Folie), Adult Fiction (Brian Mori),  Bookends (Katharine Houghton, Dianne Adams, James McDowell), Whores (Lee Blessing),  Donna Orbits The Moon (Ian August), Find Me A Voice (Suzanne Barabas, Gabor Barabas).  Some Off-Broadway credits include: Songbird (Michael Kimmel and Lauren Pritchard), Butler (Richard Strand), The Violin (Dan McCormick), The Road to Damascus (Tom Dulack), Terms  of Endearment (Dan Gordon), Poetic License (Jack Canfora), On A Stool At The End Of The  Bar (Robert Callely), A Better Place (Wendy Beckett), Murder In The First (Dan Gordon),  Martin Luther on Trial (Chris Cragin-Day), Phoenix (Scott Organ), In The Pocket - A  Sideman's Tale (James Manos Jr. and Mark Rivera).
