The By-The-Way players, a group of talented actors lead by Darren Blanck, with one year of Byway performances already under their collective belts, will perform again this spring and summer of 2008! In "No Fish" the players offer a glimpse at a 1947 summer day in the life of local mailboat driver, Ben Knebel. Ben drove the mailboat on the Whitefish Chain for 39 years and never missed a day of work! He also enjoyed a good meal of fish, but on this day, various delays keep cropping up causing him to worry that he won't have time to go fishing. And, he has promised to provide the fish for the fish fry at home that night.

The action takes place on a dock at a Whitefish Chain resort. The audience will be treated to not only a snippet of Ben Knebel's story, but also some cleverly scripted area history and even a few 1947 tunes to get toes tapping.

The mailcarrier project and the By-The-Way players are funded by an FHWA Scenic Byways grant, the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway Association and Rice Creek Resources.
