Escanaba in Da Moonlight

By Jeff Daniels. Directed by Argo Thompson

A hunting story to beat all hunting stories.

When the Soady clan reunites for the opening day of deer season at the family’s Upper Peninsula camp, 35 year-old Ruby brings with her 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 she goes to any and all lengths to remove herself from the wrong end of the record book

Note: Escanaba in da Moonlight is a special event at Left Edge Theatre and is not included in the season subscription package.
