What should I wear? We call our suggested attire "Snappy Casual". The most important thing, from our perspective is for you to be comfortable. Jeans are fine with a nice shirt or top. Some of our staff refer to it as "Nightclub Casual".

Do you serve liquor? Yes. We have a full bar, and table-side cocktail service throughout the evening. However drinks are not included in the ticket price.

What comes with the meal? In addition to the three courses, bread and butter, coffee and tea are all included. Gratuity is also included in the ticket price.

Do I choose my entree ahead of time? Yes. We need your selection prior to the day of the show. If you purchase tickets online, you will receive an email from us within 24 hours, confirming your reservation and explaining entree choices. You simply reply to that email with your selection. Or, you can always call in your selection.

Is this appropriate for children? That might be the toughest question we get. Everyone has different ideas about what's okay for kids. For that matter, everyone has a different idea of what a "kid" is. If our shows were movies they would be rated PG, maybe PG-13 on some nights.  The shows are written and performed to have broad appeal, and they are comedies, and comedy is subjective, but we have always stayed away from the "easy" comedy that is insulting or vulgar just for the sake of shock. So, the official line is "We don't recommend kids under 12, but we don't prohibit it."

Am I going to have to get up and dance, or anything? Nope. We don't rope people into situations that might be embarrassing for them. Our actors are all seasoned pro's who know how to tell the difference between people who want to mix it up, and those who would prefer to remain anonymous.

Do you do anything special for birthdays? We do a little thing between the 3rd and 4th scenes, where we ask if anyone is celebrating a birthday. We then send the cast frantically flying around the room to get their picture taken posing with the birthday person.  We then email you the shot, no charge.

Do you do shows off-site? You betcha! We have done hundreds of shows all over the mid-west, and can adapt almost any show to fit your needs.
