On Friday, February 6 at 7 p.m., Door Community Auditorium (DCA) will present the Tony Shalhoub film Feed the Fish, a favorite of Door County audiences ever since it was filmed on the peninsula in 2009.
Set in Door County, Feed the Fish tells the story of Joe, a frustrated children’s-book writer in Los Angeles. To break through his writer’s block, Joe agrees to accompany his brother to Jacksonport, Wisconsin, to participate in the Polar Bear Plunge.
The house where the brothers stay is isolated, and when Joe’s pal is hospitalized with a badger bite, Joe befriends a local hermit, develops a crush on the man’s granddaughter, and must deal with the local sheriff’s dislike of anyone from out of town. As Christmas approaches, things get even more complicated.
Feed the Fish stars Green Bay native Tony Shalhoub (Monk), is directed by Michael Matzdorff, and features appearances by many familiar local Door County faces.
The screening of Feed the Fish is free to the public, but freewill donations are encouraged. The screening is sponsored by Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant & Butik, Fish Creek Civic Association and Fish Creek Winter Games.
Door Community Auditorium is located on Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 12-5 p.m. For more information, call (920) 868-2728 or visit www.dcauditorium.org.
