There are still great seats for Thursday, Friday and Saturday! - don't miss this show! https://sa1.seatadvisor.com/sabo/servlets/TicketRequest?eventId=1165651&presenter=WHITEROCK&venue=&event=&tck=true Here is another review: Subject: Don't Dress For Dinner Message Body: I attended this play on Saturday, February 17th. I was thoroughly entertained. It was brilliant. I'd seen this play performed before professionally. For a community theatre to perform this play in such an amazing manner speaks highly of all who were involved. The stage set was perfect. The costumes were excellent. The direction first class, and the acting tight and flawless. Great comedic chops all around. Please bring this cast, crew and director back for more of this artistic fare. Congratulations to all for their contributions to this wonderful White Rock production!! Dave

DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER MEET THE CAST: Lori Tych ~ Jacqueline Don’t Dress for Dinner is Lori’s first production with The WRPC since 2012. OMG! – How did that happen?!! Space Time Anomaly, perhaps? “I am over the moon to be back home walking the boards of the Coast Capital Playhouse! I can’t say enough about this fabulously funny and generous cast, and the guidance of the magical, mystical, Julianne Christie. She is a director with wit, skill set, savvy (and heart!) to spare! Laughter… it’s infectious. It cures what ails you and it binds people together in intimacy and friendship. Laughter is definitely what binds this collaboration.” Favourite roles for Lori include: Paulina Salas/Death and the Maiden; Eleanor of Aquitaine/The Lion in Winter; and Lily Garland/Twentieth Century. Immeasurable gratitude to two dear friends who encouraged Lori to “take a look at this script.”
