The Lloydminster Theatre Society is inviting you to enjoy an evening of comedy and dinner later this month with its production of Opening Night by Canadian playwright Norm Foster.
The dinner theatre production will run Nov. 26-29 at the Legacy Centre, featuring a cast of local performers under the direction of Cornelius Krahn.
The comedy centres on a group of theatre-goers whose evening out quickly descends into chaos as personalities clash, egos collide, and romantic complications emerge. According to Krahn, the play’s humour comes from relatable characters finding themselves in increasingly ridiculous situations.
“One of the things I love about this play is that absolutely everyone has their own idea of how the evening should go, and almost nobody gets what they expect,” Krahn said. “It’s full of wonderfully ridiculous situations, but underneath it all are characters that audiences will recognize. It’s the kind of comedy where you can just sit back, enjoy yourself, and have a good laugh.”
Dinner theatre
Tickets include both the performance and a meal, making the show an option for date nights, gatherings with friends or workplace holiday outings. The production also continues the theatre society’s efforts to provide opportunities for local performers and volunteers while bringing live theatre to the community.
Opening Night will be staged at the Legacy Centre on Nov. 26, 27 and 28 with dinner beginning at 6:00 p.m. each evening. A final matinee performance will be held Sunday, Nov. 29, with lunch served at 1:00 p.m.
Tickets are $60 per person and are available at the Legacy Centre or online through Eventbrite (online fees apply).
