“LOVE TOWN”:
AN IMAGINATIVE NEW COMEDY ABOUT A LITTLE SEASIDE TOWN AND WINNER OF PPP’S FIRST PLAYWRITING CONTEST
The Pewter Plough is presenting Love Town by Michael Kaplan. It’s an enchanting and very funny new play set in a picturesque little “romantic getaway” much like Cambria, where a newly opened gift shop becomes a haven for the impassioned and eccentric denizens of the village. When the owner of the Cozy Corner shop runs off with the Aromatherapy gal across the street, her husband is left to deal with all manner of hilarious and outlandish escapades. One can easily imagine these offbeat characters and predicaments showing up right here on Main Street in Cambria!
The play won our first Pewter Plough Playwriting Contest, being voted the best original script from the submissions we received from throughout San Luis Obispo county. The winner was awarded a $1,000 cash prize, given by the Playhouse through a grant from Robert Lane of Morro Bay, the originator of the PPP contest, with the goal to cultivate original plays by local talent. Our judges praised “Love Town” for its imaginative story line and well-developed characters.
