‘Escanaba in da Moonlight’ opens March 6 in Morris

Morris Theatre Guild performances of Jeff Daniel’s play, “Escanaba in da Moonlight” start March 6 and run through March 15.

This comedy is set in a hunting camp in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season, 35-year-old Reuben brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to tag a buck.

In a hunting story to beat all hunting stories, “Escanaba in Da Moonlight” spins a hilarious tale of humor, horror and heart, as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book.

Performances will be 7:30 p.m. March 6, 7, 13 and 14 and 2:30 p.m. March 8 and 15.

Tickets are $15 online or $20 at the door and can be obtained at morristheatreguild.org or by calling 815-942-1966.
