Comedy play Dinner for One to open in Minneapolis

The comedy play Dinner for One will open in Minneapolis November 30, starring Twin Cities actor (and Korean adoptee) Sun Mee Chomet.  The show will run until January 5, with preview shows on November 27 and 29.

The play is based on a comedy sketch from the 1920s, and tells the story of a dutiful butler (played by Jim Lichtschiedl) who is trying to help his employer Miss Sophie (Chomet)  celebrate her birthday. There are unpredictable mishaps, a little too much wine, and some enchanting live music.

Directed by Christina Baldwin, the play is returning to Jungle Theater a year after its premiere in 2023, when it was reviewed warmly for its comedic timing, humor, music and beautiful set and lighting.

One of the special performances planned  is Jungle Theater Bash Night, to be held December 20, with Dinner for One-themed drinks and food.  There is also a New Year’s Eve performance to be held December 31.

Jungle Theater also offers accessibility shows and special “pay as you are” pricing, which allows for those who cannot pay the $45 (market value) theater ticket to pay less if they choose to do so. Paying more than the market price covers costs of someone else’s ticket and helps Jungle Theater to offer its plays to a broader audience.

For more information on accessibility and ticket pricing, contact the box office at 612-822-7063 (or at https://www.jungletheater.org/box-office)

Jungle Theater is located at 2951 Lyndale Ave South, Minneapolis.
