  • Wrong Turn at Lungfish

    EPISODE: Wrong Turn at Lungfish


    Written by Garry Marshall & Lowell Ganz

    Directed by Rosie Aust

    Production by Galleon Theatre Group


    ABOUT THE EPSIODE

    For the Love of Theatre Podcast introduces cast members, Tony Busch, Dora Stamos, Wade Cook, along with Director, Rosie Aust, who discuss everything behind-the-scenes for this production of Wrong Turn at Lungfish by the Galleon Theatre Group.

    ABOUT THE PLAY

    "A Play Filled with Wit, Wisdom, and Second Chances"

    The title refers to an evolutionary hypothesis that man's path from bug to beast wasn't about developing the most sophisticated survival equipment; his development was simply the product of "a wrong turn at the lungfish".

    Funny, heartfelt, and filled with wisdom, Wrong Turn at Lungfish is a must-see for those who know that sometimes, life's best lessons come from unlikely places.
