Plan-B Theatre Company's Season Continues with The World Premiere of SINGING TO THE BRINE SHRIMP

SINGING TO THE BRINE SHRIMP is a madcap comedy - with puppets and songs and the Great Salt Lake - about learning who you really are and what you truly value.

This is the theatrical opportunity of a lifetime for Allison, a playwright and mom from Utah.

At least that's what the people in New York keep telling her. But the director hasn't read the play, the actors keep competing over who has been on Law & Order the most and Allison is a ball of stress and insecurity. Thank goodness the singing brine shrimp are there when her wife can't be to help her find her way.

SINGING TO THE BRINE SHRIMP is a love letter to life and art in the Beehive State.
