On October 19 at 8:00 pm, the Barn Theatre School opens the Sooper Yooper Blockbuster ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT by Jeff Daniels.
This laugh riot comedy follows the Soady clan as they reunite for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp. Eldest son Reuben Soady brings with him the shameful reputation of being the oldest Soady in the history of Soady’s never to bag a buck.
Reuben is “buckless” and the laughingstock of the folks in Escanaba. 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.
The cast features Barn favorites Charlie King as Albert Soady, Eric Parker as alien-abductee Jimmer Negamanee, Aaron Czarnecki as Reuben Soady, and Luke Ragotzy as Remnar Soady. Featured in the cast are first year apprentice Will Davis-Kay as Ranger Tom T. Treado and local actor Meagan Irmen as Wolf Moon Dance Soady.
