Old Courthouse Theatre Presents Living Room Reading Series, "The Dinner Party"

Sunday, May 20 (2012) 4:00pm at Old Courthouse Theatre, Concord, NC
Here is a decidedly French dinner party served up in a chaotic mode that only a master of comedy could create. Five people are invited to dine at a first rate restaurant in Paris. They do not know who the other guests will be or why they have been invited. Tossed together in a private dining room, they have a sneaking suspicion that this unorthodox dinner party will forever change their lives. John Ritter and Henry Winkler starred in the very successful Kennedy Center production and on Broadway.
