They're at the center of an original play being presented in February in Huntington (and as a fan of the first two plays, I highly recommend this show - the first two were hilarious! And the dinner is awesome!).
My pal Jerry Morse sent this press release with all the info:
First Church Dinner Theater presents the World Premiere of Bitsy, Boots and Friends by Jonathan Joy.
First United Methodist Church is thrilled to present yet another 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 and Friends presents still more of the unexpected, as Tommy brings his bride to southern Ohio for another visit with the two oddball aunts who raised him, their even odder cousin Ida, and an assortment of other friends, new and old.
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 17 productions.
Huntington’s First United Methodist is a church in Mission, supporting 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 2010 dinner theater will help fund the Church youth work team and many other projects.

Thanks for including this, Chuck. These plays are so much fun and I really appreciate Jane and Jerry including my work with their dinner theatre. I want to encourage everyone to make reservations early. Last year we had full houses at both performances. Hopefully, we can do that again this year!
I should have emphasized that - the place was packed last year, and I'm sure it'll be the same this year! Thanks, Jon!
Might want to confirm this with Jerry, but I'm pretty sure that our pal Stephen Vance is in this cast. At least he spent an entire lunch last week bragging about working with this cast.
Bil, I'll have to check with Jerry on that one. Maybe Stephen is the stage manager?
It is True Mr Stephen Vance is part of the production. He has actually replaced Micheal Niday in the show.
