Of Pies and Men

Of pies and men… Sounds too broad?

Our Thanksgiving holiday surprise IS broad!

It covers almost everything:  time travel and secret cooking recipes, evolution and romance, voyeur/exhibitionism, and death of western civilization… and all of this with a touch of existentialism, pragmatism, heaps of Shakespeare, and utter hilarity.

The authorship this time is broad as well – locally written and world famous are blended smoothly together, leaving you wondering why is LOCAL not WORLD Famous … yet!

All secrets are revealed in the end, of course.

For now, let us put you in the holiday spirit as you dine, while Surprise theatre entertains you with spirited and light-hearted playfulness steeped with shock and awe … something we all can use this year.
