KOLD Radio is in a corner of Carl and Lena’s Place in a small Minnesota town near the Canadian border.

Lars is the host of a radio show called “Crappie Talk,” devoted entirely to ice fishing.

Because it is a somewhat narrow subject, Lars has no listeners, so he loses his only advertiser and is fired.

Martha Bjorklund, Lars’ unrequited love interest, hosts “Book Beat.” She has all the listeners and advertisers.

Lars must find a way to get back his dignity, his job and, most of all, Martha.

Tickets are available at palt.org.

Reservations can also be made by leaving a message at 409-727-PALT (7257).

Students (through college) are $9, seniors (62+/teachers/active-duty military) are $11 and general admission adults are $13.
