A fishing derby like no other
November 20, 2015 · 0 Comments
Norm Foster’s The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby was cast last week at Grace Tipling Hall, where the play will be performed during the last two weeks of February.
Darrick Rosborough is cast as the pompous investment banker who gets stranded for the weekend in the little town of Kooshog Lake. He is taught to fish by the contemptuous locals and takes part in their annual fishing derby celebrations. In fact, Darrick is the one cast member who does know how to fish so he will teach the others!
Other Shelburne stage favourites in the cast are Kelly McDowell and Paul Welch. Singer-songwriter Sohayla Smith joins the Tipling Stage Company for the first time and Michelle Graham, who stage-managed the recent production of The Trouble with Trent, makes her Shelburne stage debut.
In what Norm Foster himself describes as a “quirky, off-the-wall kind of comedy”, the cynical storekeeper whose son has left town, his one-time girlfriend who is carrying a torch for him, the wise old town patriarch and the aggressive, yet insecure, multi-business-owner combine to give the stranger some life lessons…and receive some themselves. Tickets can be purchased online for this ‘must-see’ comedy at www.tiplingstagecompany.com and they make great stocking stuffers!
