Gourmet comedy set for fall production

Summerland Singers and Players will present 100 Lunches-A Gourmet Comedy Nov. 1 to 4 at Janet Ritchie Centre Stage.

Summerland Singers and Players will present 100 Lunches-A Gourmet Comedy Nov. 1 to 4 at Janet Ritchie Centre Stage.

The play, by Jack Starkey and Leo W. Sears, is about a successful mystery playwright, Chuck Reynolds, who has had his plays lauded by all critics except Charity Starr.

When she shows up at his home and has the unmitigated gall to ask his expert help in writing a play of her own, Chuck fiendishly agrees but insists that their teacher/pupil sessions be held over lunch with Charity footing the bill at the most expensive restaurants in New York.

Lunatic waiters provide a humorous touch to these meetings.

Love blossoms despite the scheming of Chuck’s amorous neighbour.

Charity’s play opens on Broadway and she finds out what it’s like to be a target for all her critical colleagues.

Curtain time for evening performances is 8 p.m. and the matinee on Nov. 4 is 2 p.m.

Tickets are available in Summerland at Indulgences and Good Omens Coffee House and in Penticton at Dragon’s Den on Front Street.
