The three alums from Chicago's Second City collaborate on this theatrical adaptation of their book — subtitled "The Can-Do Town That Just May Not" — which tells the tale of the titular burg on the brink of extinction. Situated directly in front of a massive dam which is going to be torn down to allow a salmon run, the American smalltown's only hope is a journalist.

The Wigfield tour will also play engagements at Atlanta’s Woodruff Arts Center (May 30-31), Washington, D.C.’s Marvin Center (June 6-7) and Boston’s Sommerville Theatre (June 14-15). Dates and cities subject to change

WestBeth Entertainment, a theatrical producing organization which has presented Sandra Bernhard's I’m Still Here, Damn It! and Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill, will produce the tour.
