Challenging
what anyone might consider 'legitimate' theater, playwright Jeff
Daniels breaks new theatrical ground with this “Super Yooper
Comedy”. Escanaba in da Moonlight 
is a tall tale
inspired by a larger-than-life corner of America.
When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family's Upper Peninsula camp, thirty-five-year-old Reuben Soady brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to bag 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.
The cast of the World Premiere of Escanaba in da Moonlight,
under the direction of Guy Sanville, included Dai Parker-Gwilliam
as 
Albert
Soady, John Seibert as Reuben Soady, Joseph Albright as Remnar
Soady, Wayne David Parker as Jimmer Negamanee, Randall Godwin
as Ranger Tom Treado, and Jennifer Hunter as Wolf Moon Dance
