Now Playing!
Director Gordon Hunt (Mad About You, Frasier) brings the madcap stage adaptation of Robert Klane's dark comedy classic to the Falcon! Where's Poppa? follows the hilariously eccentric family of the Hocheisers. The middle-aged son's love life is constantly being ruined by his over-possessive and jealous mother. Unfortunately, he promised his dying father never to put Momma in a home. But when Momma's lovely new live-in nurse arrives, he resolves his only chance for freedom is to scare his mother to death in this absurdist, fun-filled comedy!
The limited 23-performance engagement stars (in alphabetical order) Marylouise Burke, Katie MacNichol, Jeff Marlow, Rob Nagle, Barry Pearl and Ellen Ratner.
