THE LAST (POTLUCK) SUPPER Runs Sept. 3-Oct. 31

LAC_The Last Potluck Supper logoTHE LAST (POTLUCK) SUPPER
La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Sept. 3-Oct. 31
Springboro

The year is 1979, the day of the church’s Centennial Celebration, and past parishioners have gathered to share hotdish, bars and stories from the last 100 years. As our favorite Church Basement Ladies work in the kitchen, these shared memories burst into life through a series of flashbacks. Travel back to 1897 and meet Vivian’s grandmother, one of the founding members of the church; see Karin as a newlywed, cautiously navigating her way throughout the politics of the kitchen; and be there in 1944 when Mavis first barreled her way through the swinging door. As they time-jump through a Century, these ladies manage to serve up a rib-tickling panorama of the changes in the kitchen, without spilling a drop of their egg coffee!

Directed by Jim Lockwood

Andy has a sweet Catholic mother, a sour Catholic father and a severely retarded younger brother named Mickey. When he brings his Jewish atheist fiance to meet the folks on Christmas Eve, his worst fears about family blow-ups are realized. But when Mickey, whose entire vocabulary has been limited to “oh boy” and “wow,” suddenly spouts the word “Greetings!” the entire family’s belief system is turned upside down. For it seems an ancient, wise and witty spirit who is set upon healing the family’s wounds has borrowed Mickey’s body! This heartwarming comedy will have you laughing from the beginning to the end!
