'TIL BETH DO US PART just in time for Valentine's Day at Chaffin's Barn

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre presents 'Til Beth Do Us Part, a comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten - the successful trio of playwrights behind Dearly Beloved and Christmas Belles - for a February 10-March 19 run at the venerable Nashville dinner theater. Directed by Martha Wilkinson, 'Til Beth Do Us Part features Lydia Bushfield, Warren Gore, Kim Nygren, Debbie Kraski, Tammie Whited and Charlie Winton.

"In this side splitting comedy about marriage, career driven Suzannah Hayden needs a lot more help on the home front than she's getting from her husband, Gibby," Wilkinson explains. "Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah's newly hired assistant; a gregarious, highly motivated daughter of the South. Beth explodes into their lives and whips the Hayden household into an organized, well oiled machine. Gibby grows increasingly wary as Beth insinuates herself into more and more aspects of their lives including convincing Suzannah that Gibby must go. Gibby sets out to save his marriage, and his efforts to stop Beth at any cost set up the wildly funny climax!"
