Duck Hunter Shoots Angel
by Mitch Albom

Duck Hunter Shoots Angel - audition poster.png

Duck Hunter Shoots Angel by Mitch Albom is coming to the Zamia in 2025 and we want YOU to be part of this great theatre production. 

 

An uproarious story about two bumbling Alabama duck hunters who think they’ve shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky swamp they are hounded by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer. The play interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as they try to find the angel. Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption; Duck Hunter Shoots Angel is a comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson. â€‹â€‹
