The Outlook Inn in Eastound is doing its best to help islanders “keep cheerful” during this winter, with Chef Sean Paul preparing special dinners for the Victorian Room Readers Theatre Dinner performances.
Last month, Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels delighted a sold-out audience ($30 for dinner and show, $8 for show alone) with Coward’s rapid-fire wit at the expense of upper-crust British society.
This month, director Patty Monaco again brings together a cast of local stars — Lesley Liddle, Tony Lee, Ron Herman and Louise Carnachan, augmented by student actors Rhys and Grace Thompson, in a trio of Christmas-themed performances.
The first will be Tony Lee’s recitation of the Dylan Thomas classic, “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” The second piece will be a rendering of the composition of “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” Clement Moore’s famous poem that famously begins, “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…”
The third performance will be vignettes from the writing of Robert Fulghum, author of “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.”
Dinner seating begins at 6 p.m., with the theatre performance starting at 7:30 p.m.
Dinner orders must be made at the same time as reservations. reservation. Beverages will be available for purchase. Seating for dinner is 6 to 6:30 p.m. Call 376-2200 to make reservations.
