Dinner Theatre Coming Nov. 11, 12

November 1977

Cast members rehearse the neighborhood dinner-theatre production.

It’s time for the Big Event of Autumn, the 4th Annual Dinner-Theatre! The cast and crew are working hard already, and November 12 promises to be an outstanding evening. Only one thing has changed; in order to protect our meager resources from evaporating, the tickets for the Saturday performance, which includes dinner, will be available by advance payment only. Mail your check to Rosedale Neighborhood Association, 6117 Westminster, and tickets will be mailed to you.

You may also call (Jo Ann Vatcha, 726-6974) to reserve your tickets, but they must be paid for and picked up before November 8. After that, we reserve the right to sell to those myriad seekers of last minute tickets who make up our waiting list every year (TRUE). The price is $6.50 per person. There will be a cocktail party at St. Roch’s at 6 P.M., the theatrical presentation at Grace Church at 7:30, and a feast and party back at St. Roch’s after the play. Dinner will be prepared by Susie Roach, Peter Marcus, and their outstanding committee.

Tickets for the Friday, November 11, performance of the play (no dinner) are $2.00 and are available from Jo Ann Vatcha or Lucille Schoemehl, or at the door, Grace Church, Skinker and Waterman, at 8 P.M. We look forward to seeing all our neighbors, Washington Heights, Parkview, even the world outside!

Do call or write now for your tickets to one of these great presentations. You’re sure to have a great time, and, believe us, you’ll get your money’s worth.

Virtue Victorious

The Relocated Repressed New England Repertory Co. is proud to present “Virtue Victorious” or “Only a Mother’s Love Could Save Him…”

Friday, November 11, curtain 8 p.m., admission $2.00.

Saturday, November 12: cocktails 6 p.m. at St. Roch’s; curtain 7:30 p.m. at Grace Methodist; dinner and party following performance back at St. Roch’s. Price: $6.50.

Thrills, chills, entertainment. Cocktails (cash bar), dinner and party at St. Roch’s Scariot Hall, Waterman at Rosedale. Performances at Grace United Methodist Church’s Fellowship Hall, Skinker and Waterman. Don’t miss it!
