Rock Bottom Lodge is a secluded getaway on Rock Bottom Lake, somewhere in Northern Ontario. The fishing is good. The Friday Night Fish Fry is famous. It's quiet...except for the people. There’s Mel and Shirley, they’ve been arguing for years. Josh and Kate. They grew up together until Josh went away. He was fifteen. She was fourteen. Now he’s back. Natalie’s back too, Josh’s ex-fiancée, with Binky her Shih Tzu. And then there are the guests. The Hendersons in Cabin Three and the Hendersons in Cabin Four. The Andersons in Cabin Five and the Andersons in Cabin Eight. Rabbi Wasserman. Todd. The newlyweds…Stanley and Peggy. Stanley doesn’t like fish. He’s also allergic to trees.
Rock Bottom is a rollicking, ninety-minute, romantic comedy about the dangers of straying from the path, and…sometimes…the dangers of staying too close. Even when there are bears.
ROCK BOTTOM was first produced on April 17, 2025, by River & Main Theatre Company at Theatre in The Wings in Belleville, Ontario, directed by Lisa Spence.
