Photos: First look at Mount Vernon Nazarene University Theatre’s BIG FISH
by Jerri Shafer - Mar 27, 2026
Join MVNU Theatre for Big Fish, a sweeping, magical, and deeply heartfelt story about love, memory, and the power of the stories we tell. Edward Bloom is a legendary storyteller, known for spinning fantastical tales filled with witches, giants, circus towns, and impossible adventures. To Edward, these stories are truth wrapped in wonder—but to his practical son, Will, they feel like exaggerations that stand between them and a real connection. As Edward’s life draws to a close, Will embarks on a journey through these myths to discover the man behind the magic, learning that sometimes the most extraordinary stories carry the deepest truths. Overflowing with imaginative visuals, whimsical characters, and a soaring score by Andrew Lippa, Big Fish is a celebration of imagination, legacy, and the enduring power of love. Hilarious, tender, and breathtaking, this musical invites audiences to laugh, cry, and fall in love with a life well told.
