Synopsis

A comedy for a 2 male / 4 female cast.

Catch a Falling Star is a coming-home comedy with hair-pulling, foot-stomping, sister-fighting, soul-baring revelations, and a satisfying epiphany.

The concept of unconditional love is put to the test when Ginny Wakely comes home to Dewey, Texas to tell her parents before they see it in People Magazine that Daddy’s precious girl and Mother’s shining star is a recovering drug addict and an ex-porno queen.

Mother has her own surprise: a gala town picnic and parade to honor her rising television star.

Ginny is swept into old family tensions and a bonafide Texas twister before she learns where home really is.
