Jordan Springs to Host Fundraiser Dinner Theatre at Winchester Little Theatre

The Historic Jordan Springs Estate will host 8 fundraiser dinner theatre performances of the comedy GREATER TUNA spanning from July 8th to July 24th as part of the effort to support the Expansion Campaign of the Winchester Little Theatre. The event will begin with a plated dinner followed by the show. This hilarious comedy features 20 different over-the-top characters who live in the Lone Star state of Texas in the tiny town of Tuna. The story centers around the antics and blunder of the local news production station.

According to Event Producer, Colt Nutter, "This will be the first dinner theatre we have hosted since we partnered with the Wayside Theatre for the Patsy Cline show almost 7 years ago, and we are excited to once again be involved in the arts of our community as part of the fundraising effort for WLT." Nutter also said that the event centre has been so busy with private events in recent years that it has not had the dates available to do these types of cultural events, but this year, they have decided to make it a high priority and block off dates for the summer show.

The performance is scheduled to take place on a specially-built stage in the main ballroom of the event center located at 1160 Jordan Springs in Stephenson. The comedy will run in two "acts" with a 15 minute intermission in between.

According to the show's director Bill Heavner, "We now have a terrific team forming for the theater portion of this dinner theater project. Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and really get to work." There are also several opportunities for the community to be involved in support roles for this project. Interested parties may contact Mr. Heavner at the Winchester Little Theatre.

The menu will be a served, three course meal consisting of the Jordan Springs signature salad, an Italian chicken with chef's two sides, and dessert, as well as rolls, iced tea, and water. A cash bar will also be available for additional beverages both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
