A Christmas Story The Musical is the hilarious account of Ralphie’s desperate quest to ensure that this most perfect of gifts ends up under his tree this Christmas. This new Broadway musical based on the classic 1983 movie, features funny and heartfelt songs and a faithful yet inventive book.

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!
