Des Moines Community Playhouse Presents Duck Hunter Shoots Angel 11/5-21

The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents the new comedy, "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel," Nov. 5- 21, 2010. Tickets may be purchased at The Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St.; by phone at 515-277-6261; and online at dmplayhouse.com. "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" is sponsored by Birdies for Charity/The Principal Charity Classic and ING.

A pair of unlucky, bumbling, duck hunting brothers claim to have shot an angel over the Alabama swamplands. In a world where potato chips shaped like deities are newsworthy treasures and Elvis is repeatedly sighted, a burnt-out tabloid journalist is sent on a mission to investigate this unusual shooting. The interaction between the journalist, the hunters, and their neighbors comes together for a night of misadventure, sibling rivalry, and off-the-wall investigation in this heartfelt comedy by Mitch Albom, author of the books "Tuesdays With Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet in Heaven."

The characters in this show are as eccentric as the show itself, including two guilt-ridden duck hunters, Duane and Duwell, played by Rusk Dorsett and Eric Bench; a depressed tabloid journalist, played by Pernell Ferguson; his reluctant photographer, played by Cedric Fevrier; their crazed boss, played by David Oddy; a shopgirl at a local Gasmart, played by Britt Slater; Phil, the half-man/half-alligator, played by Dan Heck; and a ghost, played by Bob Fry. Completing the cast are Allison Bollinger and Royce Dunbar.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
