Popcorn Falls

See it if you loved The 39 Steps. 2 actors play many male/female parts. "Come on, town, let's put on a show." I didn't laugh. All male prodn. Nice set

Don't see it if you want comedy to be intelligent. I found PF charmless. Constant movt. Women are stereotypes. Played broadly. Tired jokes. Obvious ending.

See it if Great acting. Cute and entertaining story. Fast-paced. Funny.

Don't see it if You don't like actors playing multiples roles nor farcical​ stories. Small production.

See it if Clever concept. Both actors do a great job at playing multiple roles.

Don't see it if You dislike 2 person shows where the actors play handfuls of characters. Simple staging w/ little costumes/props.

Also This is a well done show, if the concept sounds enjoyable to you, you will probably enjoy. I just wasn't feeling it.... Read more Read less

See it if A mayor and a handyman are forced to put on a show w/o any actors. Very clever circuitous plot. Inside all the bluster is a dramatic element

Don't see it if Not slapstick or vaudeville, just two game actors with good material. At a brief 75 min., there's room for more development.

See it if Story is funny, two actors playing more than one part. It's alot of Fun.

Don't see it if If you want a serious play.

Also Enjoyed have alot of laughs. Two gifted actors doing this story of safeing Popcorn Fall. Theater is not big, you can see good from any seat.... Read more Read less

See it if you like a heartwarming and upbeat story about 2 people who help save a small town. These two actors take over 24 roles very cleverly.

Don't see it if you like serious drama, sophisticated comedy or lavish sets.

Also The use of the stage is very effective to the changing of the roles. Nice message and uplifting story.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see a play with absolutely no risk and you will be rewarded equally

Don't see it if You are expecting anything outside of the box

Also I was actually pleasantly surprised by this production. Going in I had a feeling that I would either really love this or really hate it. I was wrong it was right in the middle. Both actors did an incredible job of portraying several characters to make us smile laugh and realize a lot of things about our life I was not expecting anything edgy and I didn’t get it so if you are looking for a safe comedy to take the entire family to this is the place to go. I’m not sure what is going on this week but this is the second time the cast begged for money at the end of the show. If you are annoyed that I am mentioning this again I am annoyed that a play did this again... Read more Read less

See it if Well, you have to like farce, 2 people playing multi-characters (but these 2 are great) & clever premise that waits 'til end to be revealed

Don't see it if Scatalogical humor, broad comedy, goofy story, & purposely amateurish-style (wait, you'll see) turns you off. Skillful direction by Borle.

Also I was pretty judgmental in the first 20 mins, but when I let myself realize I was watching some masterful tomfoolery i enjoyed myself for the rest of the show. The story does not shy from dark subjects, but you should know going in that the show has its tongue planted FIRMLY in its cheek.... Read more Read less

See it if You like shows with two good actors playing lots of different roles.

Don't see it if You don't like two characters playing a. whole town.

See it if Comedy reminiscent of Greater Tuna where two men play all the roles of the people in town – men, women, and children.

Don't see it if You want something serious or fully costumed and staged. You don’t find it funny when everything goes wildly out of hand.

See it if you like over the top silliness and physical humor and an involved implausible plot.

Don't see it if you're annoyed by broad humor that often misses the mark, and low production values.

See it if you like silly comedies, calamity, farce, or light entertainment. It's a small production, but well done.

Don't see it if you don't like two actors playing many characters or are looking for something more serious and relevant.

See it if You enjoy quirky funny plays and actors playing several parts quite well.

Don't see it if You prefer more serious and elaborate shows or do kot enjoy light comedies.

See it if I wish I had realized it was a 2 hander. It was fast paced, predictable but felt fulfilling nonetheless.

Don't see it if You dont want to watch constant motion, swinging doors. "A play full of sound and fury signifying nothing".

See it if you enjoy slapstick comedy without the slap. Situational humor, exhaustive performances.

Don't see it if you like good comedy

See it if you want to see two insanely talented actors breathlessly inhabit multiple characters with ease. This is useful as an acting master class.

Don't see it if you need more than a trite, bland save-the-town trope in your theater-going narrative. Borle’s direction is strong, but the material is not.

Also Apart from a vehicle for two fine actors to display their considerable chops, I could not envision a point to any of this.... Read more Read less

See it if A two man show playing multiple characters in the town of popcorn falls. Good acting , a silly fun time.

Don't see it if Do you not see if you prefer dramas or musicals.

See it if you want to see 2 very talented actors portray more than a dozen characters with seamless precision in a humorous and entertaining way.

Don't see it if you only enjoy shows performed in typical manner.

See it if you just want to have 75 minutes of light fun with two great actors and a great director making the very most of the material they have.

Don't see it if you only want to see shows that you might want to see again in the future. The script is not engaging enough to cause that.

Also There are several times in this show when you expect the show to get substance. Each time you are left disappointed. Depth is something the script doesn't have.

Despite the play's flaws, the acting and direction are exceptional. They are worth seeing you just want some light fun.... Read more Read less

See it if you're a big fan of "Greater Tuna"-type shows with actors playing multiple varied characters.

Don't see it if you're expecting something serious or need different actors in every part.

See it if You are looking for a rather wholesome play to bring the family to. Enjoy two-handers. You enjoy humor that pokes fun at show-biz types.

Don't see it if You have already hear all the variations of "let's put on a play" jokes. The show is made up largely of stock jokes about show-biz.

Also "Save our town!" -Selfie Squirrel

Popcorn Falls, while passingly entertaining, feels like a parody of a parody. The narrative is the oft trod out "bad man is going to turn our village into a dump" plot. But due to the solution, putting on a play, most of the humor is well worn "theatre people are kooks" repertoire. Again, familiar territory.

Adam Heller and Tom Souradah are both wonderful actors but the script isn't quite well-written enough for them to show off their comedic chops. There are plenty of soft chuckles throughout, but very few true gut-busters.

The set, lighting, and sound design is effective,, as is the staging.

There are some minor plot-holes that, while not really detracting much from the show, do make you wonder how much thought was put into making a convincing premise.

There is a lot of charm in the show though. It feels like a labour of love, and the selfie-squirrel is straight-up delightful.... Read more Read less

See it if adorable and feel good allegorical show with two AMAZING performers who bring to life the full panoply of a small town and all its wonders

Don't see it if you don't like mimicry and characterizations --as these two guys bring to life at least 12-16 characters and it is absolutely flawless.

See it if You want to see a small town parody. The two actors were way into it and talented. A cleaner version of South Park. Find the squirrel too!

Don't see it if You do not like parodies. You need multiple ensemble for voices.

See it if you like the nifty premise - how to save a dying town by putting on a show; you want to see two actors playing multiple characters

Don't see it if you want something profound; you expect a laugh a minute

See it if you like farces ala Greater Tuna and Murder for Two. Strong performances make the most of material and direction that's not up to the genre.

Don't see it if you want razor sharp wit and a creative production needed to make "two-hander" farce really pop. It's not bad, just falls short.
