Coming Soon - A Joy(ful) Premiere... and Dinner!

Local writer and director Jonathan Joy has a new show on the way - here's the info:

First Church Dinner Theater presents the world premiere of Bitsy & Boots.

First United Methodist Church is excited to present this brand-new comedy by local actor, playwright and drama instructor Jonathan Joy. First Church Dinner Theater will be hosting the world premiere of this show for your Valentine’s entertainment.

Bitsy & Boots presents the unexpected, as Tommy brings his soon-to-be fianceé home to Southern Ohio meet the two odd-ball aunts who raised him.

The Dinner Theater has been a winter highlight in Huntington since 1991. Begun as a part of First Night, the Dinner Theater has been an integral part of First Church’s Mission program, raising more than $35,000 for Mission projects through 15 productions.

Huntington’s First United Methodist is a church in Mission. In 2007, church members gave over $30,000 to support community projects, Mission projects across West Virginia, and national and international relief efforts. Members volunteer throughout the community, and participate in mission work teams in West Virginia, Alaska and Nicaragua. Proceeds from the 2008 dinner theater will help fund the Church youth work team and many other projects.

I've been to many of these shows at First United Methodist, and they're always lots of fun - and the dinner is amazing, and more than worth the price of admission alone. Highly recommended!
