The Apple Don't Fall
Written by Brent Englar Mobtown Players March 1–23, 2013 Six months ago, Dan’s entire known family died tragically in a tornado accident in Appalachia. So when Glenne shows up claiming to be his long-lost half-sister, Dan fears she wants nothing more than a piece of his inheritance. Besides, Dan already has plans for the money: to create—with a visionary director named Leon and his silent troupe of “enactors”—a new form of theatre consisting wholly of gesture.

The final act opens with the inaugural performance by Leon's company; by the time it ends, Dan has decided where to invest. But can he justify his faith in visionary directors ... or newfound half-sisters? |
