Salty Bananas - Austin Premiere

Presenting the WORLD PREMIERE of Salty Bananas, a new play by A. John Boulanger. It's a surreal, hilarious and heartfelt story about six people trapped on a tropical island where lies unravel, secrets surface, and reality bends. Starring: Meredith McCall, Martin Burke, Amy Downing, Quinn Walton, Linda Nenno, Tyler Jones and Melissa Grogan. About the Play: Salty Bananas is billed as “an experience through metadrama” and “a fast-paced comedy... until it isn’t.” What begins with laughter unravels into deeper revelations about truth, lies, identity, and connection. With bananas, a mysterious AI voice, and more than a few theatrical surprises, the play invites audiences into a world that is as absurd as it is familiar. About La POW Theatre: La POW Theatre is Austin’s hub for new plays—an irreverent, boutique company committed to world premieres by living playwrights and collaborations with local actors and designers. By making daring, unconventional stories accessible to wide audiences, La POW fills the space between Broadway polish and Austin grit: Off-Broadway for Texas. After more than a decade away from the Austin stage, award-winning playwright and director A. John Boulanger makes his highly anticipated return with the world premiere of Salty Bananas, an absurdist comedy that blends laughter, surreal mystery, and emotional truth. Produced by La POW Theatre, the production runs October 10–26, 2025 at Sterling Stage Austin. Salty Bananas marks a reunion between Boulanger and Austin actors Martin Burke and Meredith McCall, their first premiere collaboration together since 2011. It is Boulanger’s fourth premiere with Burke and third with McCall, and they are joined by a powerhouse ensemble not to be missed.
