CARLYLE - The Cornerstone Theatre Group has announced that their annual spring dinner theatre event will take place the last weekend of April at the Carlyle Memorial Hall.

The members have selected the two-act comedy Daddy’s Girl, written by Gary Ray Stapp, as their production. The play features Benard Muloovy, a no-nonsense cook and proprietor of Maudie’s Diner. Zany characters on a single set will make for a night out for the entire family.

Dinner theatre will be served April 28 and 29, with the meal being prepared by the Carlyle branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. On April 30, there will be an afternoon matinee.

This year’s cast consists of 13 characters which has many familiar faces and a few new ones as well. Regular Cornerstone fans will remember last year’s performance of Acting can be Murder, in which Colleen Easton played the leading role. Colleen, together with her husband Lane, are co-directing Daddy’s Girl.

“This script is hilarious and heartwarming at the same time, with a set that is an eye-popping retro-style diner. Our cast is creating interesting, complex and relatable characters sure to tickle your funny bone, and maybe even tug at your heartstrings. We are excited to offer you this great production. See you there,” said Lane.

Tickets are on sale now and are available at Fengche Flowers on Main Street. People can stop in or call 306-453-0222 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., from Monday to Saturday, to purchase tickets.
