SQUABBLES Opens at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre, 10/14

Jennifer Richmond, Dietz Osborne, Ben Dawson, Debbie Kraski and Charlie Winton star in Squabbles, the next show opening at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre in Nashville on Thursday, October 14.

In Squabbles, Jerry Sloan is a successful jingle writer of commercial jingles married to an equally successful lawyer. Living with the happy couple is Jerry's not so happy father-in-law, Abe. When Jerry's mother Mildred is also forced to move in, the fur flies between Abe and Mildred in a succession of confrontations.

Director Martha Wilkinson, who also serves as artistic director at Nashville's venerable dinner theatre venue, describes Squabbles "as the perfect blend of 'sweet' and 'salty.'"

Wilkinson's cast includes Ben Dawson (last seen in The Butler Done It), Debbie Kraski (last seen Christmas Belles), Dietz Osborne (last seen in Rear Widow), Jennifer Richmond (last seen in Rear Widow) and Charlie Winton ( last seen in The Butler Done It ).
