Local play a must-see!

The Port City Players Production of Duck Hunter Shoots Angel continues tonight and this weekend at 7 p.m. at Seward High School Auditorium. It’s a fun-filled, at-times sentimental comedy that takes place mostly in the Alabama Swamp. It’s filled with puns and amusing visual effects throughout. The play, by Mitch Albom, well known for The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and Tuesdays with Morrie, is a comedy. It pokes fun at tabloid journalism, at stereotypical southern rednecks, at northern elites who look down on them, and perhaps most of all at religion and superstitions. But it’s also about the pitfalls of stereotyping one another, of holding tight to old views and beliefs that may no longer apply, and the missed opportunities we make as we bumble our way through life, making one mistake after the other. It’s an all-local cast with local actors or folks you may have seen before, but you will also meet some talented new young actors who bring a strong theater background to Seward. The play is directed by Doug Capra. Although rated “PG” by the players, aside from a few outbursts of cussing, I believe it’s really quite harmless, and will be a treat for children old enough to sit still and enjoy a fast-moving play.
