LIVE PERFORMANCE: "Guys on Ice - The Ice Fishing Musical" @ A Center for the Arts, Fergus Falls

FEE: Adult $34 | Student $15 | President's Box: Additional $12 per Ticket

Guys on Ice - The Ice Fishing Musical

Saturday, February 20, 7:30pm

You’ve seen them. Little wooden shanties sitting on lake ice. Puffs of smoke rising from chimney pipes. On a quiet day, maybe the static of a tinny radio filters through plywood walls, across the frozen tundra, back to shore. In a cold world, on a cold day, on a frozen lake, these little signs of life are all most people know of a secret culture that thrives right here amongst us. Guys on Ice spends a day in the life of Marvin and Lloyd — fishing buddies and home-grown philosophers – a somewhat twisted take on the secret world of ice fisherman. . With musical numbers like, “The Wishing Hole,” “Ode to a Snowmobile Suit,” “Fish is the Miracle Food” and “The One That Got Away,” Guys on Ice works not only as a serious anthropological study but as a musical comedy as well.
