“Check Please” showcases a series of first dates gone wrong. We enjoy all three short plays put together as we watch each experience get worse and worse, date by date.

Gourmet food & hilarious live theatre all in the luxurious surroundings of a first class hotel
Dating can be hard. Especially when your date happens to be a raging kleptomaniac, or your grandmother’s bridge partner, or a mime. Check Please follows a series of blind dinner dates that couldn’t get any worse — until they do. Could there possibly be a light at the end of the tunnel?

Audience Reactions:
Arsenic and Old Lace
The show will split your sides and rupture your spleen. It’s a dark comedy you don’t want to miss. You’ll be totally entertained. I think you’ll enjoy every minute of it.
Blithe Spirit
You'll get his trademark wit, with ectoplasm and ghosts ('My wife's funeral exhausted her!').
Blithe Spirit
Noel Coward wrote Blithe Spirit as a distraction during World War II and it’s the perfect comedic distraction for our own troubled times.
Mousetrap
...the succession of neatly plotted twists and the final unexpected reveal create a well-oiled comedy.
