In only six weeks, the hunt for the wily whitetail is on. Northern Sky Theater is bringing back the hit musical comedy that promises “more bang for the buck.”

Guys & Does, by Frederick Heide, Lee Becker and Paul Libman, broke box office records and earned rave reviews during its premiere run with 54-straight sold out performances. A favorite with hunters and non-hunters alike, this show drew even larger audiences when it moved to the Door Community Auditorium (DCA) for its second season and then had a successful statewide tour.

The story follows Fritz Dingleheimer as he heads Up Nort’ for that much-needed break in his routine. Numbed by his dull 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. His only companion is local oddball Duane Puddles. A non-hunter whose primary skills seem to be talking and knitting, Duane wants to marry Fritz’s daughter and hopes to gain his blessing on this trip. Things heat up when a swaggering Texas big-game hunter arrives at their northwoods retreat. This year the original cast returns featuring Frederick ‘Doc’ Heide, Lee Becker and Doug Mancheski.

Guys & Does features a Packer-friendly schedule and plays weekdays at 7:30 pm and Saturdays at 4 & 8 pm. Guys & Does runs Sept. 2 to Oct. 15. Reserved tickets are $29 for adults, $18 for students, and $14 for children 12 and under. Tickets for the fall are on sale now at the Northern Sky box office at the Green Gables shops in north Ephraim, via phone at 920.854.6117 and online at NorthernSkyTheater.com.
