Enchanting audiences of all ages, the play has drawn fans to productions at theNorthern Sky Theater in Door County's Peninsula State Park and on stages across the state and beyond. Join Marvin and Lloyd inside their ice fishing shanty for a hilarious look at life, love and the pursuit of the perfect catch – even when the fish aren't biting.
