Ice fishing – where Midwestern men go to shoot the freeze.
DPRCA kicks off its blockbuster 2024 season with a reprise of "Guys on Ice," a musical comedy that will have you laughing (and freezing) your face off!
Life on the lake is easy, especially when the fish are biting, the jokes are funny, there's a 'couple two three' beers in the bucket and the Green Bay Packers are on the field.
From the warmth of their shanty 'up north,' old pals Marvin and Lloyd spin wit, wisdom and hilarious songs about life, love and the one that got away. This Wisconsin musical tradition features songs such as "Ode to a Snowmobile Suit" and "The Wishing Hole."
DPRCA diehards may remember this one, as the troupe performed "Guys on Ice" for the first time back in 2010. With an all-new cast, director and stage, it's practically a "hole" different show!
This time around, New Rockford-Sheyenne School's new music teacher, Drew Relling, stars as Lloyd. Peyton Piatz, who made his debut on the DPRCA stage as Tobias in "The Christmas Show," plays Lloyd's fishing buddy, Marvin. Rounding out the cast is DPRCA regular Jon Johnson as Ernie the Moocher.
Patrons will also hear live piano music by the talented Annette Hovey.
"Guys on Ice" opens Thursday, Feb. 15. With just eight performances, the seats will sell fast! Race to the phone and reserve your favorite spot in the Old Church Theatre before your rival fishermen beat you to it!
Shows run Thursday to Sunday from Feb. 15 to 25. For tickets and showtimes, go to http://www.dprca.com.
As usual, patrons can enjoy dinner before the show in the lower level bistro. Choose from one of four entrées, including salmon, beef short ribs, chicken breast or veggie alfredo pasta. There's mac and cheese for the kids too!
