Dinner Theatre Takes Audience On A Journey Through Second World War

-
A
popular
dinner
theatre
that
transported
participants
through
a
mental
journey
to
the
battle
fields
of
long
ago
is
returning to a local stage.
"It
was
as
though
Truro
had
been
transported
to
another
era
as
veterans
of
the
Second
World
War
walked
through
camouflaged
areas and shelter tents," a Truro Daily News reporter wrote, of last year's play.
The
event,
sponsored
by
Royal
Canadian
Legion
Br.
26,
is
part
of
the
Time
to
Remember
series
of
stage
productions
conducted
by the 440 Productions Association, a group of current and former students of Yarmouth Consolidated Memorial High.
While
the
event
does
have
its
serious
moments,
said
event
chairwoman
Jane
Allen,
"their
hope
is
to
bring
a
smile
to
the
lips
and
a
gleam
of
recognition
to
the
eye.
If
you
were
'there'
in
the
40s,
you
may
well
catch
a
glimpse
of
some
part
of
your
own
life. If you are of recent vintage, you may gain deeper insight into 'the way it was' during wartime."
Many
of
the
stories
portrayed
in
the
stage
production
are
taken
from
the
actual
events
of
veterans,
war
brides
and
others
who
lived through the Second World War.
The dinner theatre is set for Oct. 7, at 6:30 p.m., but it is recommended that everyone be seated by 6.
"And what a way to treat your entire family to Thanksgiving dinner," Allen said. "We're serving turkey with all the trimmings."
Tickets
are
$30.00
per
person
and
are
available
at
the
legion
bar,
which
is
open
at
9
a.m.
Monday
through
Saturday.
For

information call 895-6529.
