Serendipity Players to have its first foray into dinner theater with, not one, but two one-act comedies.
The two plays will be served up along with a plate of Mexican fare at El Presidente Restaurant near the Academy on C and Evergreen.
“Check Please” is a fast paced farce about modern dating, and “Coffee With God” is about one man’s humorous attempts to get God to explain the nature of the world.
Both plays open November 1.
“We’ve had a lot of requests from audience members for dinner theater,” reports artistic director Tony Broom. “Now that we’re going to be in venues out in our community, we are finding like-minded people who want to collaborate. We are very fortunate to work with El Presidente Mexican Restaurant and Cantina, one of Vancouver's landmark businesses, as our first host. Joni Moore and Brian Reed, our directors, are great with comedy, and the two casts are outstanding. I’m really looking forward to this."
