When a group of Hassidic Jews from Brooklyn come to a struggling Midwest town to re-open the defunct meat-packing plant as a kosher facility, the locals think their problems are over.  But an epic culture clash ensues that transforms the American melting pot into a pressure cooker that explodes.  Literally!  

Postville is a comedy about serious contemporary issues.  The work, by local playwright Don Fried, was one of the selections of the 2009 Playwrights Showcase of the Western Region, a competition for writers from all states west of the Mississippi River.
