Here's a sample:
Guess who is coming to dinner again?Not only is the show a lot of fun, but the dinner is excellent! (And I'm speaking with the voice of experience here.) Highly recommended!
When First United Methodist Church was looking for another Jon Joy play for its 2009 dinner theater, Joy couldn't resist continuing the wacky adventures of Bitsy and Boots, two aunts who put the fun in dysfunctional.
Joy, who graduated from Marshall University in 2004 with a master's in English, said he couldn't resist writing more about Bitsy and Boots, after First United Methodist Church did the original play last winter for its dinner theater.
Not unlike Tyler Perry's endless well with Madea, Joy said the two aunts are ripe for comedic writing.
"Even when I did it last year those characters were really special, and I realized I could really do a lot more with them," Joy said. "We were talking about a sequel even during rehearsals last year, and there may be more to come."
The new comedy, Bitsy, Boots... and Ida, makes its premiere at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday night at First United Methodist Church, 1124 5th Ave.
Dinner for the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Dinner and the show costs $22; $8 for children under 12, or (space permitting) you can see the show only for $5.
Seating is limited so reservations are required. Child care is available.
Call 304-522-0357 or 740-867-8576 for more information or to make a reservation.

I just want to encourage everyone to come out to this truely wonderfully crafted show. Jon Joy has done it again. This show is just as clever and witty as the first. It has been an honor and privilage to be in this production with him. He is a great and talented person. Everyone in the cast give a truely remarkable performance.
