 The
Kitchen Witches
by Caroline Smith
December 31, 2008*
January 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17
Produced by permission of Samuel French, Inc.
Please join us for our annual New Year's Eve
Gala on December 31, 2008*.
Other playdates are January 2, 3, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17, 2008, at
8:00 p.m. with a Sunday matinee on January 11, 2008, at 3:00 p.m.
Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle
are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated
each other for 30 years, ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and
married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show
called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than
the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to
keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch
closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show
becomes a ratings smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart
and Jerry Springer!
*New Year's Eve Tickets include show, heavy
hors d'oevres, non-alcoholic beverages and a champagne toast at
midnight. A cash bar will be available. Regular pricing
does not apply to this event. Tickets for this event are
$30/person. |
