ABOUT THE FILM:
Plain Falls, Iowa is known for its abundant corn harvest, level headed farmers, and family recreation areas, but this summer tents will be replaced with body bags as this sleepy Midwestern town is besieged by a deadly menace. A group of somewhat motivated people must find a way to first try to see this menace, and then reluctantly draw straws on who will step up to deal with bloodthirsty rampaging GNATS!
MEN’S ROLES: There are at least 22 various men’s roles. Many roles for men in their late teens to early twenties, as well as several roles for men in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s.
WOMEN’S ROLES: There are at least 11 various women’s roles too. Mostly late teen to early twenties, with three roles for women in their 30’s and 40’s.
EXTRAS: There are many roles for any and all ages! So there is a possible place for everyone.
