DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER Comes to Millbrook Playhouse

 Imagine a romantic getaway gone spectacularly wrong! That's the recipe for side-splitting laughter at Millbrook Playhouse's production of "Don't Dress for Dinner" by Marc Camoletti, adapted by Robin Hawdon. This fast-paced farce is a laugh-a-minute rollercoaster that promises an evening of mistaken identities, comical entanglements, and guaranteed comedic chaos.

Bernard, a mischievous Parisian playboy, thinks he's crafted the perfect weekend escape – a charming farmhouse getaway with his mistress, Suzanne. To ensure a flawless fling, he hires a gourmet chef, Suzette, and invites his best friend, Robert, as a convenient alibi. Seems foolproof, right? Wrong! When a series of unexpected arrivals throws his carefully laid plans into disarray, Bernard and Robert find themselves caught in a web of hilarious confusion – picture gourmet meals turned into culinary disasters, surprise guests arriving at the worst possible moments, and identities getting mixed up in the most outrageous ways!

They include John Murphy as the scheming Bernard and Danielle Standifer as his wife, Jacqueline. Ren Cementina plays his best friend, Robert, and Jay'na Johnson plays his mistress, Suzanne. Rounding out the cast is Kasey Karoll as the cook, Suzette, and Gideon Ethridge as George, her husband.
