"Don't Dress for Dinner" is a sophisticated French farce by Marc Camoletti, adapted for British characters by Robin Hawdon. Directed by Ed Strum, the cast features Eric Concord, Julie Greene, Shannon Kelley, Clay Warner, RuthE. Wells and Hunter Wood in what is arguably one of the funniest pieces of writing for the stage in the past 20 years. The action takes place in the main living room of a country home some distance from Paris. With witty fast-paced dialog, physical comedy and compounded mistaken identities, this production dishes out plenty of laughs. One word of caution about this wickedly funny play: the adult situations may not be appropriate for younger children. "Laughter is part of our mission," Strum explains. "We want to establish a fundraising mechanism for the community that provides a tangible benefit for people who want to give to local needs, and to do so with levity … to help lighten the burden for the recipients at a very challenging time. In addition, by providing quality entertainment, we can engage visitors in a way that benefits community members directly." Admission to the show is by donation ($5, $15, $50, $100 - whatever you want to contribute). The Pavillion Room seats approximately 60 patrons, and a reservation list will be kept until 10 minutes before curtain at each performance. Reservations not claimed at that time will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Curtain time for Dec. 29-30 and January 19-21 is 7:30 pm. There is a 2 p.m. matinee January 22, 2006. To make a reservation, please call 378-2155.
