Cornfield of Dreams Or The Villain Was a Laughing Stalk

Get ready for the corniest play this side of the Mississippi, whichever side you’re on! Puns keep popping up in this wacky melodrama like a Jiffy Pop ready to explode! Pop and Ma Kornwell, along with their adopted daughter Little Sweet Pea, are beside themselves with worry. Colonel Kernal’s cornfields are inexplicably drying up, so they have no corn for their recipes at the Corn Café. To make matters worse, the new banker in town, Ira Fuse, is demanding payment on their late mortgage! Lucky for them, Major Major comes to town scouting a new location for a military fort. Building the fort in Cornville would be a huge boon for Corn Café and General General’s General Store (and especially for the lovestruck Little Sweet Pea!), but it won’t happen unless they can solve the problem with the water shortage. Besides rolling their eyes at all the puns, your audience will be rolling in the aisles with laughter at the climactic corncob eating duel between Major Major and Ira Fuse that exposes the villain for the river-diverting cad he really is. Ah, shucks!
