The Park Theatre, 19 Main St. in Jaffrey, will present the slapstick comedy “Hundreds of Beavers” from director Mike Cheslik and producer Ryland Brickson Cole Tews – who co-wrote the script and stars in the film -- April 19 to 25.

Fur-trapper Jean Kayak finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and sinister creatures -- all played by actors in full-sized beaver costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover.

Produced on a budget of less than $200,000, the move opened March 8 and many patrons are attending dressed as beavers. Tickets are $10, and $9 for seniors 62 and over, children, students, teachers and active military. The Park Theatre is offering free admission to anyone who dresses up as a beaver (as determined by the box office). Beavers will also get preferred seating.

To purchase tickets in advance, go to theparktheatre.org or call the box office at 603-532-8888.
