Edward Bloom leads an extraordinary life—at least according to the stories he tells his son, Will. But Will, who is getting married and expecting a child of his own, doesn’t think there’s any truth to the extravagant tales his father tells about meeting witches, kissing mermaids, or joining the circus. He doesn’t even believe the story of how his father proposed to his mother, Sandra, in a field full of daffodils. But when Edward’s health begins to decline, Will must decide whether to accept his father’s wild stories as fact or risk losing him completely.

“I’ve been a fan of this musical for a long time,” says Schellhardt. “While I appreciate the large scale, spectacle-driven way it’s often produced, I see our production as an opportunity to concentrate on the character relationships and to bring the more intimate moments to life.”

BIG FISH runs Sept 29 – Nov 17. For more information visit bohotheatre.com.
