Beth Henley's THE MISS FIRECRACKER CONTEST will arrive on B'way in the Spring of 2013 starring Amber Tamblyn. "The Miss Firecracker Contest" is the story of Carnelle Scott, a Southern orphan living in Brookhaven, Mississippi. Carnelle is furiously rehearsing her patriotic tap dance for The Miss Firecracker Contest—hoping that a victory will salvage her tarnished reputation as the town’s “Miss Hot Tamale” and allow her to leave Brookhaven in a “crimson blaze of glory.” The unexpected arrival of her cousin Elain, a former Miss Firecracker Queen, (who has walked out on her rich but boring husband and two small children) and Elain’s eccentric brother, Delmount (recently released from a mental institution), threatens to derail Carnelle’s total makeover. HOP Theatricals LLC will produce the show in a theater to be announced.
