Description

The Ripleys have their summer vacation all planned out: an escape from the city to a lakefront cottage in remote Wisconsin. However, when Chet's brother-in-law Roman and his family show up, relaxing goes out the window as the families compete to have the best vacation ever. A staple of millennial childhood, THE GREAT OUTDOORS revels in slapstick comedy as John Candy and Dan Ackroyd have a blast, both figuratively and literally. Join us at the Revue this July and skip the drive to the cottage! --CRYSTAL-ROSE MADORE
