Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain

Year:

2013

Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain is based on the critically acclaimed collection of short stories of the same name by internationally renowned Saint John author Jordan Stewart. When a train derails outside of the normally peaceful town of Gumdrop Mountain, the local inhabitants rally to rescue survivors of the crash. A boxcar containing hazardous materials explodes and kills many of the rescuers and passengers involved, and the town is forced to deal with the aftermath of the event. In the two years following the disaster, the tragedy and grief of the community manifests itself in strange and uncontrollable ways, forcing the Gumdrop Mountain Police Department to respond with brutally unorthodox tactics.

A play about trauma, fear and the strength of the human spirit, Greetings! From Gumdrop Mountain is a quirky, dark comedy with an eerily touching heart.
