Based on an iconic slapstick comedy sketch and New Year\u2019s Eve tradition in Europe for over 60 years, DINNER FOR ONE tells the story of a butler helping his employer celebrate her annual dinner party. Unpredictable mishaps and a little too much wine result in a hilarious evening full of physical comedy, improvisation, music, and human connection.<\/p>\n
Audiences can\u2019t get enough of Miss Sophie and James…and Sir Toby, Admiral von Schneider, Mr. Pomeroy, Mr. Winterbottom, and of course, Whiskers. For it\u2019s third season, DINNER FOR ONE will combine some new friends with its hilarious improv to make each performance unique – and as precious as a box of hand-blown glass!<\/p>\n
Please note: These performance dates are previews.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Contains themes such as grief and memory loss. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older.<\/p>\n On New Year\u2019s Eve, James helps Sophie remember people she loves that have passed away. The way that this takes place may seem unusual or strange to others, but it works well for their friendship. What is a ritual or tradition that you share with a friend, family or community?
