Get ready for a laugh-out-loud experience on the LNW Falcon Stage this September with a comedy that’s bound to leave you in stitches! The Great Easter Egg Hunt is a quirky and heartwarming production set in the small town of Umatilla, Florida, where chaos, love, and competition collide during the town’s most anticipated event – the Annual Easter Egg Hunt.
At the center of this wild day is the ultimate prize, the coveted Golden Egg, a symbol of pride and glory for anyone who can claim it. But as citizens of this small, quirky town scramble to find it, they’re met with unexpected twists and comical mishaps.
Meet Horseshoe and Clementine Dumpling, a couple bent on avenging their shattered dreams of marital bliss. Will their plan bring them closer together or drive them further apart? In contrast, the town’s flirt is busy chasing after every man in sight – except for the one who’s desperately in love with her, leading to hilariously awkward encounters and missed opportunities. Meanwhile, two young lovers are plotting their escape from the small town’s clutches, hoping for a future filled with something more than gossip and small-town drama.
Presiding over the chaos is Judge Pulander, whose attempts to keep the hunt in order are soon compromised by a little too much apple and cypress bark cider. Her comical antics and diminishing authority set the stage for even more uproarious moments as the day unravels. Adding to the turmoil, the local Rifle Association manages to stir up a good ol’ fashioned blood feud, while the ever-present Women's Club throws fuel on the fire with their relentless gossip.
With so many eccentric characters and unpredictable events, The Great Easter Egg Hunt isn’t just about the search for the Golden Egg – it’s a laugh-filled reflection of small-town America, highlighting everything from greed, love, and avarice to hope, passion, and the often ridiculous nature of life. The play takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, all wrapped up in a day that perfectly captures the highs and lows of life in this isolated town.
Performances of The Great Easter Egg Hunt run from September 26th to 29th, and you won’t want to miss your chance to witness this delightful, fast-paced comedy unfold! Whether you’re a fan of witty dialogue, absurd situations, or heartfelt moments, this production has something for everyone.
