About

Join us for a rehearsal of the new Soap Opera, "The Numb and the Breathless". Hopefully, it will be picked up by cable, but someone won't make it to opening night. R.E. Mote, the producer of the show, upsets enough people that someone decides it should be curtains for him. Who could it be? His brother in law, the director, Frank Lee? The stage manager, Shannel Surfer? How about the rookie actor, Foster Granite? It couldn't be the "not all there" actress, Sunny Delight, could it? Come along for the ride and help figure it out, or just have a blast with our show

All of our dinner theater shows are interactive comedies. Participation includes questioning suspects, contests, reading lines or possibly even playing a role. Our shows are definitely geared towards adult audiences. We walk the line of innuendo and if the audience takes us over, we go with the flow. If there are children present, we check with the parents to make sure they are OK with "going there."
