DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL Opens At Arts Center of Cannon County Tonight
Duck Hunter Shoots Angel, the uproarious and surprisingly poignant story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel, comes to Woodbury's Arts Center of Cannon County tonight, April 13-28, 2013.
This quirky comedy, written by Mitch Albom of Tuesdays With Morrie fame, centers on two good 'ol boys, Duane and Duwell Early, who believe they have shot a celestial being. Enter a tabloid writer for The Weekly World and Globe who wants the exclusive on this breaking "angel" story and you have an evening of fun and laughter filled with zany characters.
Directed by Donald Fann, who previously directed the play at Cumberland County Playhouse, this production features Arts Center favorites Larry Sanders and Phil Mote as the Early brothers. Also appearing are Darrell Fulton, William Keathley, Danielle Stratton, Abbey Kairdolf, Andrew Black McKnight, Jonathan Higdon and Cody Rutledge.
