The Deer Hunting Musical that promises more bang for your buck…
A whimsical excursion into the world of Wisconsin deer-hunting. Join Fritz and Duane as they travel Up Nort’ to get away from it all, and wind up crossing paths with a magical talking deer!
Yes, the hunt for the wily whitetail is on in the musical comedy, GUYS & DOES! This smash-hit had a sold-out, seven-week run when it premiered in 2009. Almost 10,000 people saw the world premiere musical in Ephraim, but close to 3,000 others were turned away for lack of seats. Don’t miss your chance to see it this fall – September 2nd through October 15th, 2016.
Join mill-worker Fritz Dingleheimer as he once again heads Up Nort’ for that much-needed break in his routine. Puzzling over what to get his wife of 30 years for Christmas, and numbed by the mindless repetition of his job at the Nekoosa paper mill, this “Wizard of Whitetails” can’t wait to drink in the peace and quiet and beer found in the northern pines.
It would all be perfect, except this time around his only companion is local oddball, Duane Puddles. A non-hunter whose primary skills seem to be talking and knitting, Duane is dating Fritz’s daughter, Susie, who’s arranged for him to go with her father so the two men can “bond.” Duane plans to marry Susie, and hopes to impress Fritz and gain his blessing on this trip. Fritz isn’t so sure.
With rousing songs like “Up Nort’”, “Hunting Day,” “Needing the Doe,” and “Another Notch in My Gun,” to the sweet and whimsical “If I Was A Tree” and “Guys and Does,” AFT has once again bagged its limit of tuneful trophies.
