In the mountain town of Spoon Lake, two brothers, Denis and Brady, are struggling to save their house from the bank. Sure it's got plumbing issues and a bit of a carpenter ant problem, but hell, their grandparents are buried in the backyard, so this is home.

When doing odd jobs for the summer residents doesn't raise the necessary cash, they decide to start robbing their wealthy neighbors. Things are going better than you might think, until Brady falls in love with Caitlin, the daughter of an African-American family they've just robbed, and brings her back to their modest home. But just when things start getting complicated, the idealistic Caitlin begins to sympathize with the brothers' predicament and helps hatch a new plot that complicates things even more.

Spoon Lake Blues is a fast-paced, hilariously irreverent comedy that still has the room for a lot of heart.
REVIEWS:

"Spoon Lake Blues, by Josh Tobiessen, is virtually irresistible... Do your funny bone and your spirit a big favor and don't miss it."

Atlanta INtown

"It is off-the-wall wacky and irreverent, yet still manages to touch the heart. At moments its comic spirit resembles the very best moments of I Love Lucy or The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

Atlanta INtown

"In slightly over 90 minutes you are taken on a roller coaster ride of hilarity and humanity, deftly concocted by the playwright."

Atlanta INtown

"As playwright Josh Tobiessen hilariously and endearingly proves in Spoon Lake Blues, it's never wise to go against the family."

Artsatl.com

"And now for something completely different and wonderful: Spoon Lake Blues."

Asherpr.com

"A mix of romance, comedy, hardship and sex, the play is filled with twists, turns and laughs."

Asherpr.com

"A one hour and forty minute wild ride of lunacy and laughs where the unexpected never ceases... It's a must see."
