THUNDER BAY THEATRE
LIVE / PLAY THEATRE
"Captain's Outrageous"

Location: Thunder Bay Theatre
400 North Second Avenue
Alpena, MI  49707

Time: Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Sundays at: 2:00 p.m.

Captain O'Michaels is an important patient at Harborside General Hospital.
Describing himself as "S.O.B."  (that's sixty or better), he decides that after so many years of doing what others wanted him to do he's going to start doing what HE wnats to do!

That happens to include floating toy boats in his bedpan, playing his trumpet, and kidnapping an obnoxious bread manufacturer.  All of this is to get attention from his lawyer son but it incurs the young man's wrath and confirms his view that the old man is crazy. 
In the final con-frontation between father and son,
young Sean learns a secret that changes his entire life.
