It’s not too late to catch the latest comedy at Door County’s Peninsula Players Theatre in a Garden. Here is a synopsis of their latest show, Comic Potential from the Peninsula Player’s website:
In the not-too-distant future, comic lessons between scriptwriter Adam and TV actoid Jacie turn hilarious – and romantic. Cast in “Hospital Hearts,” JCF 31333 is one of many programmable acting androids. She faces being scrapped because of a glitch in her system — a glitch for comedy, the “pie-in-your-face” kind, which emerges at very inopportune times and overrides her programming. Adam and Jacie run away, embarking on a real life adventure that takes on epic soap opera proportions.
What are critics saying about Comic Potential?
Comic Potential was recently named by Time Magazine as “one of the 10 best plays of the past decade.” It received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy and was nominated for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play.
“If you are going to see one play in your life, make it Comic Potential! One of the finest plays of all my theatergoing decades. A spectacular achievement! – John Simon, New York Magazine
“This is not potential comedy but comedy fulfilled.” The Observer

Peninsula Pedicab is a great way to get around Fish Creek.
From Jasmine at the High Point Inn:
From the High Point Inn here in Door County it is just a short drive south to Fish Creek. Fish Creek offers a little more hustle and bustle, which provides a great atmosphere for walking, shopping and people watching.
On a warm evening it is nice to park the car on the north side of town and walk to the restaurants and shops of downtown Fish Creek. (The sidewalks are even lined with orange and yellow marigolds.) The shops are conveniently open later and there is also a great variety to choose from.
Fish Creek also has some great places to sit out and have a nice relaxing beverage or dinner. The other evening I visited The Cookery, which has a great wine bar upstairs and full restaurant downstairs. The wine bar offers appetizers and a beautiful birds eye view of the water and the sidewalks.
If you get tired of walking there is also a pedicab service in Fish Creek. Peninsula Pedicabs is just a phone call away for a nice ride through town or back to your car.
An evening in Fish Creek makes for an eventful night, especially at this time of year. Come join us while summer is still in the air!

Entertainment & Activities for Kids of All Ages
One of the most intriguing new elements to the weekend calendar is the “Pirates of Colonial America” exhibit, constructed last year and then contracted by the National Marine Manufacturing Association as part of its 2010 boat show season. The exhibit is filled with replica artifacts and is designed to give visitors the look of a pirate shanty town in early 18th Century Bahamas. Visitors walk past store fronts which present information on different aspects of pirate life, sign authentic articles with Pirate Captain Edward Low and receive their first week’s pay, or decide to abandon their pirate ways and visit the Governor’s Tent to receive a pardon.
And don’t forget to make your reservations at Door County Inns & Resorts property where you will NOT have to worry
about pirates kidnapping you or your loved ones!
