Dewberry Dinner Theatre A Resounding Success!

Community spirit took centre stage in Dewberry as the long-awaited return of dinner theatre proved to be a resounding success, with this year’s production selling out ahead of opening night.

The Dewberry Dinner Theatre brought the lively comedy Is There a Doctor in the House? to the stage on March 27 and 28 at the Dewberry Community Hall, drawing a full house of eager attendees for both evenings. Guests were welcomed with doors opening at 5 p.m., followed by a shared meal at 6 p.m., before settling in for an evening of laughter and live entertainment.

Written by playwright Tim Kelly, the production delivered exactly what audiences had hoped for. It was a fast paced farce filled with quirky characters, comedic confusion, and unexpected twists. The play kept the crowd engaged throughout, with laughter filling the hall as the story unfolded.

Beyond the performance itself, the event highlighted the strength and dedication of the local community. Dinner theatre has long been a cherished tradition in the Dewberry area, and this year’s sold out shows demonstrated that support remains as strong as ever. Volunteers worked tirelessly both on and off the stage, contributing countless hours to rehearsals, set design, costumes, and the preparation of the meal that accompanied the performance.

This year’s production carried even deeper meaning for those involved. According to a note in the event program, the group had originally planned to bring the show to life in April 2020. However, those plans were halted when the world shut down. After years of waiting and a renewed effort over the past several months, cast and crew were finally able to see the production come to fruition.

“The past four months have flown by in a whirlwind of rehearsals, laughter, and hard work,” the group shared in the program. “We’re thrilled to put this wild production on the stage and share it with you at last.”

The return of the Dewberry Dinner Theatre marked the revival of a beloved local tradition and served as a celebration of resilience, teamwork, and community pride. With strong attendance and enthusiastic audiences, the event was a clear reminder of the important role local arts continue to play in bringing people together.

As the final curtain closed on a successful weekend, one thing was certain. The Dewberry Dinner Theatre is back, and the community showed up in full support.
