Synopsis
One Stoplight Town is a story about people from a town so small that you might drive through without taking a second look. But if you stopped for just a moment, you might see a young boy and girl fall in love, a cantankerous grocery store owner coping with change, a son returning home while a daughter thinks about leaving, and a handyman taking it all in while he fixes what is broken. These stories and more are filled with fun characters, lots of humor, plenty of heart and the theme that change comes for us all, whether we are ready or not.

Customer Reviews
- "Cute show with rich characters! "

Hints, Tips, and Tricks
- "The production took place in a large hall and our director created the two streets of Third and Main by placing black tape on the floor with yellow lines creating the two lanes. The stoplight stood at the intersection at the end.
Three tables, each designated one of the town businesses, lined each side of Main Street. In the scenes the performers walked up and down Main Street on the "sidewalk" in front of the stores. The staging gave the audience a feeling of participating in the show.
