After wrapping up its production of Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park on Sunday, Peninsula Players Theatre in Fish Creek will transition to a piece from the mind of author Stephen King. Written by William Goldman based on Stephen King's novel, Misery follows the story of novelist Paul Sheldon, who, after a car accident, wakes up in the home of a superfan who wants her favorite book character written back into existence. Acting alongside Lucy Carapetyan, Ryan Hallahan, and Glenn Obrero will continue their residency at Peninsula Players Theatre after wrapping up the much lighter-hearted “Barefoot in the Park.” Peninsula Players’ Audra Baakari Boyle says the transition shows the depth their actors can show from production to production.

Misery is the second show featured during Peninsula Players’ 90th year in Fish Creek. After “Barefoot in the Park” closes on July 6th, “Misery” runs from July 9th to July 27th.
