OPENING NIGHT of DINNER WITH FRIENDS WAS TASTY
(Tucson, AZ) Toasts continued following the opening night performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies, directed by Susan Arnold, starring Art Almquist, Rhonda Hallquist, Carrie Hill and Rick Shipman at a glorious reception provided by Pastiche Modern Eatery and Beowulf Alley’s Board of Directors. Succulent shrimp, mouth-watering salmon and decadent chocolate fondue took center stage as audience, cast and volunteers celebrated a delightful performance of the newest offering at Beowulf Alley Theatre.
“My husband and I … drove all the way from SaddleBrooke. The play was well worth the effort… We will tell our friends.”
“We attended opening night…We think you have another hit run on your hands. My wife and I both enjoy [the] experiences we have with your Company. We pin (y)our flyers …up at our work places, and encourage friends and family to try and make your theater part of their entertainment…The lighting was really great and plays an important part…The stage hands are really busy…and handled everything great…The entire cast and crew are setting a new bar for…plays and performances.”
