ABOUT TOWN:
IT'S OPENING WEEKEND!
In the idyllic town of Big Cherry, you're invited to the monthly meeting of the city council -- full of backstabbing, personal agendas, and pet peeves.
Are they dealing with the small town politics of a potential corruption scandal – or is there something much darker lurking? Find out as you join us for this dark comedy!
