New Beulah
written by Dan Moyer
“An awesome success.... Moyer’s pacing was spot on, as tears of laughter would seamlessly flow into those pulled from the heartstrings. Enchanting and timeless.”
“Hilarious, clever and heartwrenching all in one sitting. Especially impressive is each actors ability to translate age through posturing and vocal quality”
New Beulah is a small place with big characters. Told through vignettes, a small ensemble plays over twenty characters who struggle with the simple but overwhelming problems of daily life: love, loss, family, threatening conglomerates and Greenland. A clever and gut-wrenching tale about a town on the brink of quiet disaster.
