Ticket Sales Open for AFT

American Folklore Theatre (AFT) announces ticket sales for the 2014 summer and fall seasons in Door County. This season includes three musicals playing in rotating repertory at their outdoor amphitheater in Peninsula State Park and a fall run of The Bachelors at the Door Community Auditorium in Fish Creek.

Strings Attached, a world premiere commissioned by AFT and written by Dave Hudson and Colin Welford, is described as a “tuneful tale of tangled twins.” In this case, one twin ends up a ukulele fanatic in Hawaii while the other becomes part of a family banjo dynasty in Wisconsin.

Packer Fans from Outer Space makes a visit to AFT after a hiatus of eleven years. This musical by Frederick Heide, Lee Becker and James Kaplan, was AFT’s biggest hit ever in 2002, when it made its debut. Since then the show has had multiple productions around Wisconsin, including a run at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in Milwaukee in 2012 that received critical raves.

Playing in repertory with Strings Attached and Packer Fans from Outer Space will be the fan-favorite Guys On Ice.

“This is undoubtedly our most-requested show ever and hasn’t played on our summer stage for seven years. So we felt it was time for another visit into the world of Marvin, Lloyd, and Ernie the Moocher,” stated Artistic Director Jeffrey Herbst.

American Folklore Theatre’s Summer Season runs from June 11 – August 23 at the Amphitheater in Peninsula State Park. General admission tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for teens, and $6 for children. Reserved seats are $7 more per ticket. There is no park sticker required to attend performances in the park. For more information visit FolkloreTheatre.com or call 920.854.6117.
