About the Show
This laugh-a-minute fish tale is a comic, contemporary take on
Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing—set on the shores of Green Bay,
Wisconsin.
Ben and Bea are rival fishing guides, both avowedly single… and happy
that way. Through the playful scheming of Bea’s Uncle Roy, (helped
along by his daughter, Sarah, and her boyfriend, Claude), Ben and Bea
are soon lured into a romantic trap. Contrary to their sworn hatred of
each other, our couple finds themselves inexplicably drawn together.
Throw in a feckless Fish and Game Warden, (DNR Doug), the ever-present
Wisconsin love of the Packers (including an ode to Brett Favre), a few
jokes from Roy, and a wonderful blend of tuneful songs - and you’ve got
Muskie Love – a sure crowd-pleaser for any audience.
