The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek -  Capitol Arts Center

Join Bowling Green's new and emerging community theatre group, Popelick Productions, with their debut production of The Trestle at Popelick Creek by Kentucky-born playwright Naomi Wallace! This play is inspired by the real-life Popelick Trestle Bridge located in Louisville, Kentucky.

The 7:10 train rattles through a small, rural town battered by the Great Depression. Two teenagers play a dangerous game of “chicken,” racing the 153-ton engine across a narrow railroad bridge. The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek is a dark drama that explores generational trauma, hopeless economic situations in rural communities, sexuality, and the bizarreness of the human imagination.

This production may not be suitable for audiences under 18.
