Dinner And A Show

At A.C. Petersen Farms you can have a delicious dinner. At Playhouse on Park you can see a great show. Put the two together and you have the best combination since peanut butter and chocolate, that is until Playhouse on Park performers began singing at A.C. Petersen Farms last Monday night.

Unsuspecting customers were pleasantly surprised when the first of four performers took the microphone and began singing their favorite show tunes. Carolyn Cumming, Keisha Gilles, Will Macke & Jamie Morano circulated the restaurant and began cozying up to the customers, some of whom sang along, others danced and everyone was smiling. "It was so much fun getting to interact with the patrons." said Keisha Gilles who played Matron "Mama" Morton in Playhouse on Park's production of Chicago last month.

The fun will continue this Monday night from 6:00 to 8:00pm and every Monday night in August. Performers and song genres may change, but the fun to be had by all involved will only increase as the venue and the talent work out minor logistical issues.

Certain to perfect the issues, all involved hope this entertaining idea continues in to September. "I would love for it to continue, so I can come back." Adds Ms. Gilles, who is unable to attend the remaining August performances.

A.C. Petersen Farms offers a variety of menu choices not available anywhere else, for example two kinds of lobster rolls, the Connecticut served warm dipped in butter and a Maine lobster served cold with mayonnaise. Both come with Cole slaw and the choice of another side order.

Playhouse on Park is gearing up for it's third season with a production of "Around The World in 80 Days" September 14 to October 2, followed by "An Enemy of the People" October 12 to October 30.

Come celebrate your passion for food and music with A.C. Petersen Farms and Playhouse on Park Monday nights, August 15, 22 & 29 from 6:00 to 8:00pm, you'll be glad you did.
