*Guys On Ice*

* only 4 more performances! *

*Actors’ Summit Theater*



*Actors’ Summit* Akron’s Professional theater continues with it’s
performances of  *Guys On Ice, the Ice Fishing Musical   *on stage now
through Dec 20th, 2015.



*The Play*


*Guys On Ice*, is an outrageously funny musical that is sprinkled with a
copious supply of fish tales, fishing jokes, and fishy figures of speech,
not to mention the dozen or so songs that graced the stage with their
catchy tunes and clever lyrics. Appropriate for all ages, this little gem
is a great family show.   *Guys on Ice* spends a day in the life of Marvin
and Lloyd — fishing buddies and home-grown philosophers. With musical
numbers like, "The Wishing Hole," "Ode to a Snowmobile Suit," "Fish is the
Miracle Food" and "The One That Got Away", this is a show for the entire
family.  It has a message of friendship and family,  perfect for the
holidays.



*The  Cast*


*Frank Jackman, (Lloyd)  *is an *Actors’ Summit Theater* company member. He
has performed in over 30 roles over the past 17 seasons.



*Bob Keefe , (Marvin)* is also a company regular at *Actors’ Summit*.  He
was last seen in *The Book Club Play* this past February.



*Shawn Galligan , (Ernie the Moocher*);  recently returned to *Actors’
Summit*  where he has appeared in over a dozen shows. Shawn is a stage
manager/ actor with the *Northern Sky Theatre *in Door County Wisconsin ,
where *Guys On Ice *originated in 1998.


*Rave Reviews for Guys On Ice*


*Kerry Clawson of Beacon Journal*, “The show stars the ever-funny *Frank
Jackman*, who, even when his character Lloyd is over-emoting as he bursts
into song, has a bright spirit that shines through. He created an
authentically disarming moment with the emotional ballad *Everything is New*,
a tune about the beauty of ice fishing early in the morning when the rest
of world is asleep….*Bob Keefe* also is fully invested in his simpleton
character Marvin, whose main goal in life is to win the heart of a cashier
at the Pick ‘N’ Save. The two share some inspired moves via synchronized
Velcro and zipper sound effects as they perform *Ode to a Snowmobile Suit*.
“


*Chuck Yarborough*, of the *Plain Dealer*  commented  “… it’s the Hope and
Cosby road picture that was never made.”



*Mark Horning of axs.com <http://axs.com/>* *“… *witty and a true delight
to watch... Spend a delightful evening with these “Ice Hole Philosophers”
as they sing, dance and joke their way into your heart.  This gem of a show
is well worth the short drive fromCleveland.  You Betcha.”
