Celebrating 66th seasons, The Naples Players welcomes patrons to enjoy the hysterical Jeff Daniels Tony Award-Nominated comedy, Escanaba in Da Moonlight, opening October 23, 2019 in the Tobye Studio Theatre. Written by Tony Award and Oscar-nominated actor Jeff Daniels, Escanaba in Da Moonlight, is set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where the beer flows freely, and the pasties are a staple of the local diet. TNP invites Naples to the Soady deer camp where it is Opening Day of deer season, the best day of da’ year! Forty-five-year-old Reuben Soady is still as they say in the U.P. “without venison” leaving him bound and determined to finally bag his buck this year. Escanaba in da Moonlight is a hilarious tale of humor and heart as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book. “You will fall in love with the Soadys and you will laugh the entire evening,” says director Jessica Walck, “My hope is that everyone learns a little bit about this corner of the country and walks away a little lighter having had the laugh of a lifetime.” Escanaba in Da Moonlight performances run Wednesdays - Sundays, Oct. 23 - Nov. 17, 2019 in the Tobye Studio Theatre. A Red Carpet Party kicks-off at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23 on The Baker Stage for Opening Night before the performance at 7:30 p.m. with music and complimentary refreshments from The Naples Players Red Carpet Partners: Truluck’s, Riptide Brewery, and The Spice & Tea Exchange of Naples. Tickets are $40 and available at the Box Office in-person at 701 5th Avenue South 10 am - 4 pm, or by calling (239) 263-7990, or online at NaplesPlayers.org.
