DESCRIPTION:
Ruth Warrington knows nothing about pop culture. And as an adopted
child, Ruth also knows nothing about her birth family. This all changes
when Ruth hits her thirties and decides to track down her birth mother -
a 600-lb woman living on disability. The happy reunion of mother and
daughter is short-lived, however, as Ruth's mother suffers a massive
heart attack and dies before her very eyes. And Ruth, being a lawyer and
a very responsible, rational adult, takes in her new-found half-sister
Jennifer - a 22-year old who knows more about Brangelina than anything
else. In addition to living with her new half-sister, Ruth's life is
further complicated when Ben, an old college friend who's lost several
hundred pounds on a sandwich diet, resurfaces after ten years with a
very specific goal in mind. What follows is an hilarious trip into
family dynamics, celebrity culture, betrayal and revenge.
Deeply
funny and stupidly smart, PopTart is written and directed by Chris
Craddock, the witty Canadian who brought Indulgences to the Dad's Garage
stage in 2008. Originally set in Edmonton, Alberta the play has been
'relocated' to Atlanta, GA and given new technological elements.
Throughout the play projections of video and still images act as scenery
and enhance the story every step of the way.
THE CAST: Matt Horgan, Eve Krueger, Whittney Millsap, and Amber Nash
