ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT

A Comedy by Jeff Daniels

September 22, 2011 – December 31, 2011

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the woods, the Michigan classic, Escanaba In Da Moonlight, returns to its original home on the Purple Rose stage. As the Soady clan gathers at the family deer camp, Reuben Soady is hoping to get his shot and shed the mantle of “the buckless yooper.” But as opening day of deer season approaches, a series of weird occurrences and crazy locals seem to prevent him from bagging his buck. One thing is sure, this hilarious hunting trip will be one for the Soady history books!

PRESS QUOTES

“You don’t have to be a Yooper, or even a Michigander, to enjoy the fun Daniels pokes at both north and south. It’s all tempered with a sort of good humor and love for custom and legend that’s awfully appealing.”

– AnnArbor.Com

“Physical comedy. Clever dialogue. And a dash of the supernatural…What’s not to love?”

– Detroit Theatre Examiner
