‘Dinner at Eight, Dead by Nine,’ coming to Corbin on Nov. 17

If you like your community theater along with your dinner, then you are in luck as the Millstone Community Theatre Guild is bringing a performance to Corbin on Friday, Nov. 17, and to London on Saturday, Nov. 18.

“Dinner at Eight, Dead by Nine,” which was written by Michael Bruce, will be performed at Grace on the Hill in Corbin on Nov. 17, and at the London Community Center on Nov. 18.

Directed by former long-time Whitley County High School drama teacher, David Sweet, this deliciously clever comedy takes place around the head table of a banquet room where guests, and you the audience members, are expecting a dinner theatre show.

Suddenly, the audience is witness to the murder of the guest of honor, Eleanor Van Heusen, who was not well-loved. Of course, all the characters have their motives for murder.

“To find out whodunit, order your tickets right away and join us for an evening of fun, laughter, and delicious dinner,” Millstone Community Theatre Guild wrote in a release.

Attendees are asked to order their tickets by Nov. 10 at millstonetheatre.com.

A spaghetti dinner will be served starting at 6 p.m., and the show begins at 7 p.m. each night. The cost is $25 for the meal and the show.

This family friendly show is suitable for ages 10 and up.

The play is one that Sweet is quite familiar with. His Whitley County Colonel Players at Whitley County High School performed it in 2019.
