Street Corner Arts to Present THE NORTH PLAN, 12/6-21
By: Tyler Peterson Nov. 29, 2013
The North Plan is Street Corner Arts' return to the fast-paced, politically-charged world of Jason Wells, writer of their 2011 hit, Men of Tortuga. This pitch-black comedy will have its regional premiere at Hyde Park Theatre (511 W. 43rd St.) in Austin, Texas from December 6 to December 21, 2013.
The North Plan tells the story of Carlton Berg (Rommel Sulit), a bureaucrat for the U.S. State Department, who runs off with the top secret enemies list of a ruthless faction that has seized power in Washington creating a state of martial law. Unfortunately for Carlton, the chase has come to an end in a police station in the Ozarks town of Lodus, Missouri. With a pair of Department of Homeland Security agents on the way, Carlton's last hope arrives in the form of fellow prisoner Tanya Shepke (Indigo Rael), a motor-mouthed redneck who's turned herself in for drunk driving and has a penchant for raising hell.
The revolution will not be televised but it will have a soundtrack: Lynyrd Skynyrd. And it starts right now!
