# Event Details - **Event Name**: Auditions: Popcorn Falls - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 31 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Audition Information for 2nd Stage presents "Popcorn Falls" Directed by Tyler Easton A nasty neighboring town has shut off Popcorn Falls' namesake waterfall and targeted them as a sewage treatment site. But the enterprising Popcorn Falls townsfolk (“kernels”) discover a loophole when they find they can secure a town-saving grant if they can produce a play – in just one week! The only problems: no playhouse, no players, and no play! Two actors frantically transform into over twenty roles in this over-the-top comedy that proves one play can save the world (or at least one town)! Performances: October 23 - 25, 2026 Audition Details Visit FentonTheatre.org to print out an Audition Form ahead of time if you would like. Forms will be available at auditions. August 31 at 7 pm, callbacks on September 1st if necessary. Auditions can be submitted virtually prior to 8/31/26. For details on a virtual audition visit FentonTheatre.org, complete the contact form online and our team will reach out to you. For the audition, actors are asked to prepare a 1–2 minute ensemble scene where the actor will perform each role single-handedly. You may choose to either select an ensemble scene of your own, OR choose from the provided sides for your audition piece. This exercise is designed to showcase your ability to read and embody ALL of the characters in the scene. Do not be afraid to get weird, go big, or make strong comedic choices. The focus is not necessarily on polished, “perfect” performances, but rather your: Character versatility Comedic timing Physicality and vocal choices Ability to distinguish multiple characters Imagination and creativity Ensemble awareness And ultimately your willingness to take risks and HAVE FUN! Popcorn Falls is a fast-paced comedy that asks its actors to create an entire community of characters with very little performers. If an actor is willing to commit to the ridiculous, this may be the show for them. Actors are encouraged to come prepared to play, experiment, and make the room laugh! Roles available: While this production traditionally has only two actors of any age/gender perform the numerous roles, we might elect to add additional members to the cast.

Recently divorced and a recovered alcoholic, determined to pull his life back together. [JOE] A nervous janitor whose wife is pregnant with their third set of twins. [PASTOR PETE] With donations at an all-time low, his church has no money to fix its drooping steeple. Uses a walker to get around. [MRS. OMKI] With the building of a local Walmart, she now has nowhere to park her Tart Cart. Speaks with a very flat Midwest accent. [AUSTIN] The not-very-bright-but-eager-to-please sheriff of Popcorn Falls. Would like everyone to think he’s smarter and more important than he actually is. Wants desperately to make his mother proud and become the next chief of police. Could speak with a bit of a southern accent. [MS. LYDA PARKER] Town librarian.

A corrupt bully who will stop at nothing to conquer Popcorn Falls and turn it into a sewage treatment plant. [MISS BROWN] Mr. Doyle’s very unenthusiastic secretary.
