The bar will be open one hour before each showtime. This is PAG’s first dinner theater production and the plated meals will be served before the show is performed.
Tickets are just $40 for the dinner show and $35 for the matinee with cabaret seating at tables of 8. Ticket sales will continue on April 15 and April 21 from 8 to 11 a.m. in the Madera Clubhouse Lobby. Ticket sales are managed by PAG, so cash or check will be required. There is no limit on the number of tickets that can be purchased at one time.
D. Gene Wilburn owns a fishing lodge that has fallen on hard times, but that’s the least of his problems. His discontented wife, Wanelle, believes he has a wandering eye. His gun-happy sister, Maxie, uses the lodge as a safe house to protect a mob snitch who is in witness protection. D. Gene’s son, Ty, returns home to patch up his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Jenna. And to make it all a little more outrageous, Ty’s flirtatious boss, followed by her gangster husband, arrive at the lodge to add to the hilarity. Will overcoming a possible shootout and wild animal attack be enough for D. Gene to impress a potential investor to help save the lodge and maybe even his marriage?
