Hijinks and shenanigans at a community potluck designed to once and for all decide the rivalry between Warroad and Roseau. Written in collaboration with the residents of Warroad, MN, as well as being a very loose adaptation of The Inspector General, this new play reflects the lives and concerns of this up north town. This is an original play that is still being written and revised in response to community feedback.
Bilingual (English/Spanish, English/Lao) performers are welcomed and encouraged to audition.
