The Fish Whisperer
Conwoman? Or the real thing?
When the fish stop biting in the small Wisconsin town of Shewauga, a mysterious outsider named Hannah Hill offers to get the fish biting again…but only if the residents pay her $10,000! To the locals, this all sounds a bit fishy. Brimming with hope and romance, The Fish Whisperer will hook you with laughs and heart-felt songs.
Cast of 7. 4-piece band. Easy sets (fishing piers; a place for a barbeque).
Premiered in summer of 2023 at Northern Sky Theatre in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Rights now available for production.

“a musical romp!”
“catchy numbers!”
“The Fish Whisperer is definitely one to catch.”
