The Prairie Theatre | UWO Fond du Lac Theatre Program

The Good Doctor

The Good Doctor takes place in turn-of-the-century Russia. A young writer welcomes the audience to join him as he brings to life eight short stories based on the writings of Anton Cheykov – with the comic genius of Neil Simon. A novice dentist attempts to extract a stubborn molar – without benefit of Novocain! An enterprising entertainer sells ticket – to his own drowning! A cad seduces his friend’s wife – without uttering a word to her! An enchanting evening of heart and humor from the minds of two of the world’s greatest writers.

UW Oshkosh will be closing its Fond du Lac campus in June 2024 and The Good Doctor marks the end of university-produced shows. The Good Doctor follows the charter of the school’s program by including performers, designers, and crew from the university as well as the general community.

Tickets range from $5.00 to $15.00 and are available through Home Tickets through the link below. The production is best enjoyed by those aged 12 and over.
