The Athens Community Theater will present their spring comedy, Duck Hunter Shoots Angel by Mitch Albom in the Sue E. Trotter Theater at The Arts Center on April 19-28, 2012. The play is sponsored by Pascarella & Miller CPAs and Art & Ellen Kimball. The play is directed by veteran ACT actor, Dave Siklosi.
DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL is the uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don’t believe any of it – until feathers, wings and a tiara are discovered along the way. The play hysterically interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp. Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption, DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL has been hailed by audiences as a rare comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson.
Duck Hunter Shoots Angel opens with dinner theater by reservation only on Thursday, April 19th for $25 per person. The evening features a full meal and cash bar, beginning at 6:00 PM with showtime at 7:30 PM. Other evening performances at 7:30 PM are April 20,21,26,27,28 and a Sunday matinee is offered on April 22 at 2PM. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students.
