How exciting is this?! Our local Queen Anne’s County High School Drama department has announced their first dinner theatre! Saturday November 7 is the opening night of the hilarious comedy A Delightful Quarantine by playwright Mark Dunn and will include the special dinner event. The play relates the story of what happens when seven different households are put under quarantine for three days. The households include individuals who are not necessarily friends or family, and includes seven story lines resulting in often laughable results, answering the question of what happens when you have nowhere to go.
The best part (in addition to DINNER and A PLAY?!)? The dinner theatre event is also benefitting a local charity. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) and the Queen Anne's County High School Drama Department are working together to host the opening night dinner theatre. Doc's Riverside Grille is catering the event in the lobby of the high school on opening night, Saturday, November 7 at 6 p.m. Tickets are only $20 (Jinkies! Cheap night out!)and include both dinner and the play, which immediately follows the dinner. I will absolutely be there, and not just because- um, my daughter is playing the role of Kitty! (Break a leg, sweetie!)
Spread the word, folks. It should be a fun night out. Also, there's so much support for athletics at the high school, it really would be nice to see the local community also come out and support the arts- and a good cause! Guests can RSVP for the dinner theatre by calling QACHS Drama Boosters President Tina Johnson at (410) 556-6488. I will see you there!
