●Monday, January 26, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m., performing in LEAGUE NIGHT: The Bowled and The Beautiful, A Public Reading of a New Musical Comedy!, at Crooners Supper Club Main Stage Showroom at 6161 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis, MN 55432. Doors open at 6:30 PM for Dinner and Drink service.
It’s opening night of the men’s fall bowling league at Lois’ Lanes and the perennial championship bridesmaids, The Bowled and The Beautiful, find their shot at the elusive title already drifting towards the gutter, when their best bowler, Danny Flannery, goes missing.
Thanks to league president Early Erickson’s divine intervention, Samantha ‘Sam’ Addams, the town’s new veterinarian, steps in and quickly becomes their anchor, helping Matt Kanasic, Robert Raymond and Jack Kellogg keep their dreams alive… both on and off the alley.
League Night is about first loves, second chances and third strikes. It’s about confidence, courage and community. It’s about humor, humility, and heartache. And yeah, it’s about bowling. For sure, bowling.
Featuring James Detmar, Jen Burleigh-Bentz, David Carey, France Roberts, Suzie Juul, Katie Carlson, Riley McNutt, Gabrielle Dominique and Larry McDonough
