Marquette, Michigan – Readers Theater welcomes the public to join in a cold reading of the play “Escanaba In Da Moonlight” written by Jeff Daniels on Thursday, April 16 at 7:00pm in the Peter White Public Library Shiras Room.
This Yooper favorite revolves around Reuben Soady who goes off to deer camp with his father Albert, brother Remnar; and friend “the Jimmer.” If Reuben, now 43, doesn’t manage to shoot a buck by the end of the season, he will become the oldest Soady in recorded history not to have achieved this task, a taboo that leads people in the community to believe he is jinxed.
The play premiered at Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, Michigan and was made into a film in 2001 which was directed by and starred Daniels.
Readers Theater is a group of adults who are interested in drama and are willing and able to read a scripted role. They meet on the third Thursday of each month to read plays for enjoyment. New readers are always welcome.
