Once the situation is “set” Aral takes on a few more characters, too — and the logistics and acrobatics earn applause for not only actors but director Dave Davies, and clever playwright James Hindman.
It’s not all tricks and transformations, there are some sweet, sincere moments with believable characters that tug at our heartstrings — all frantically framed and served up in an amazing juggling act that leaves the audience amazed and tired just from watching. It’s a 90 minute romp, with no intermission. And to think this Saturday night show was the second time they had raced this obstacle course today? My hat is off to these two talented stalwarts.
Popcorn Falls is the perfect summer show, appropriate for older kids and/or the whole family, and short enough that you can “drive off into the sunset” on your way back to Lansing. Williamston Theatre has done it again!
Popcorn Falls continues through July 28
