Set in Possum Trot, Nebraska, the play follows Maxine—the sharp-witted, big-hearted owner of the town’s only diner—on a harrowing yet often hilarious mission to keep her beloved town on the map. Maxine, played by Sarah Berger, faces crises after crises threatening the town’s survival. From agricultural giants swallowing up family farms, to climate disasters and an exodus of young people fleeing for the city, she fights tooth and nail to preserve the spirit of her small town—all while juggling the equally comic and chaotic dramas of her own family.
