Big Cherry is a town that values community and trust above all else - until a newcomer starts asking the wrong questions. Why is someone on the town council mysteriously missing? What happened to all those bicycles? What’s the deal with the available parking space? And why are the minutes from the last meeting being kept secret? A scathing, dark comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, The Minutes asks what you would do to prevent yourself becoming one of history’s losers..

“[The Minutes is] the kind of play you think a lot about afterward… it is a warning us, in its own dramatic way, to do better” -The New York Times
