Encore! Encore!

Murphys Creek Theatre will present one final production of its spring comedy, “Escanaba in da Moonlight,” at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 29, at the Black Bart Playhouse, 580 S. Algiers St., Murphys. The show opened Feb. 19 and ran through March 8 but, thanks to fantastic reception by audiences, the cast and crew were requested to do one encore performance.
Directed by Graham Green, “Escanaba” tells the story of the Soady family, who reunite for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp. A son, 35-year-old Rueben Soady, brings with him the infamous reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys to never 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 Rueben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book.
For more information call Murphys Creek Theatre at 728-8422 or the Black Bart Players at 728-8842. Tickets cost $15 each and are available at murphyscreektheatre.org.
