Rock Bottom: A Romantic Comedy

Theatre in the Wings 30 Bridge Street East, Belleville

Rock Bottom Lodge is a secluded getaway on Rock Bottom Lake, somewhere in Northern Ontario. The fishing is good. The Friday Night Fish Fry is famous. It’s quiet…when Mel and Shirley aren’t arguing. At least it was until Josh shows up in the middle of muskie season…and the Hendersons and the Andersons and the newly-weds and Natalie and Binkie, her Shih Tzu…and Mel finally asks Shirley out on a date. Join us for the world premiere of this rollicking romantic comedy, written by Peter Paylor and developed with support from the Lighthouse Theatre Development Fund.
