Grab your flannel shirt, cultivate that five o'clock shadow and get to West Springfield for what promises to be "an unabashedly sparkling romp in the woods." Playwrights Fred Alley and James Kaplan (the minds behind the hit Guys on Ice) return to bring you Lumberjacks in Love.
The story takes place in 1912 at a remote lumber camp, an alpine mecca of masculinity hundreds of miles away from the nearest woman and a place where the men celebrate their manliness openly and proudly. But the climate of testosterone-filled pride is disrupted—and highjinks ensue—with the arrival of a romance novelist posing as a mail-order bride, and the revelation that one of their own is a "lumberjill" (a woman disguised as a man). Laughs are sure to be plentiful in this comedy.
