Important Update on “It Happened One Night” Dinner & Dessert Theater

While we originally advertised this event as having champagne drinks available, due to some confusion on our part we will not have the appropriate liquor license in place in time for the show, so we will have to omit that portion of the evening. In its place, we will be offering alternative, non-alcoholic sparkling beverages,

We apologize for any disappointment that this may cause our patrons, and if any pre-ordered admission holders wish to cancel their reservation, please contact us at blainecommunitytheater@gmail.com

Julia, a Boston comedian, is summoned frantically back home by her stepmom expecting to find her estranged father on his deathbed. Instead, she finds him seemingly the same wise-ass curmudgeon he always was, if a tad obsessed with the Italian deli the family visited when Julia was a child. When her father’s health takes a turn, Julia and her brother Max attempt to find the place and give their father the sandwich of his dreams. Leaning on an unexpected kinship with an ex-priest and fighting her sense of flight, Julia takes a road trip with the family, hoping to reconnect with her father while trying to realize the memory of a mysterious deli that may not even exist.

“The Good Deli” will perform March 17th thru 26th in Blaine High School’s Orange & Black Box Theater, 7 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 PM on Sundays. Admission is $13 for seniors, students, and veterans, and $15 for everyone else. Due to some mature content and language, the show is recommended for audiences 14 and up.

“It Happened One Night” Reader’s and Dessert Theatre – Feb 11th

Blaine Community Theater is proud to present the Lux Radio Theater version of “It Happened One Night”, based on the classic 1934 screwball comedy starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. This evening will be a reader’s theater event, with the cast recreating the 1939 radio broadcast performed by the legendary Lux Radio Theater, with accompanying live music by jazz guitarist Mike Bohnson and vocalist Kira Ann Bradshaw.

Failed newspaperman Peter Warne has just lost his job, but he has a cunning plant to get it back. Heiress-on-the-run Ellie Andrews has just crossed his path on her cross-country escape to elope without getting caught and stopped by her wealthy father. Peter and Ellie make an uneasy alliance–he won’t turn her in so long as she gives him exclusive rights to the story–beginning a whirlwind road trip as the two dodge private detectives and reward seeking lookie-loos.

“It Happened One Night” is presented as a special pre-Valentine’s outing, we will be providing dessert, coffee, and sparkling drinks for the attendees.

There will be two performances to catch on February 11, 2023: an afternoon show at 3 PM and an evening show 1t 7 PM. Performances will be at the Blaine Boating Center located at 235 Marina Drive, Blaine, WA. Pre-purchase admission available online, as well as admission at the door as space allows.

Purchase of admission online will place the purchaser and their guests on a will call list, and they may check in at the door. No physical tickets are issued and no print outs required. Admission will be available at the door in accordance with availability.
