The Quintessential Comedy of the North

From the frozen bays of the Great Lakes to the land of ten thousand lakes, Guys on Ice is hitting the road to celebrate the secret language of the North: ice fishing! Spend a day in the shanty with lifelong pals Marvin and Lloyd as they do everything except catch fish. Marvin is a dreamer holding out for his big break on a cable TV fishing show, while Lloyd is the philosopher currently in the doghouse after a football-themed anniversary mishap. Between visits from Ernie the Moocher and a hilarious, prize-filled halftime show, you’ll be treated to show-stopping numbers like De Wishing Hole, Fish is de Miracle Food, and the legendary Ode to a Snowmobile Suit—complete with a zipper dance you must see to believe!

This beloved all ages musical comedy invites you into a world where the beer is cold, the stove is warm, and the wisdom is as thick as the ice on the lake. More than just a play for all ages, Guys on Ice is a musical tribute to the stubborn resilience and charm of Midwesterners. Don't miss this heartwarming, hilarious celebration of life on the ice!
