"It’s kind of a humorous look at fine dining and going out to eat at a fancy restaurant," said Director Ben Davis.While the audience members watch the production, they will be dining themselves. Drivers Restaurant is preparing a two-meat buffet for the evening.Davis chose this year’s production. "What I tried to look for is something that would be fun for the performers and fun for the audience," he said.Last year’s dinner theater was so well attended that a third performance has been added for this year. "The response was just tremendous," Davis said. Davis decided to start the dinner theater last year to give students a taste of the theater. Before, students could participate only in one-act play."I think this is more of a theatrical experience for the students," he said. Advance tickets are required and may be purchased by calling the Beaver Creek Golf Course at 673-0011. All profits from the production go to the theater department at Hills-Beaver Creek and will be used to offer more theatrical experiences to students."We would love to have everybody out," Davis said. "It will be a delicious two-meat buffet and a fun night of theater … a great night out."
