SHOW JUST ADDED! We are excited to announce a Monday, December 30 performance that will feature Joy Dolo as Miss Sophie and Tyson Forbes as James. Purchase Dec 30 tickets here.

Based on the iconic comedy sketch that became a NYE tradition across Europe, DINNER FOR ONE tells the hilarious story of a dutiful butler helping his employer celebrate her birthday, complete with unpredictable mishaps, a little too much wine, and enchanting live music.

Returning after a sold-out premiere during the winter of 2023, DINNER FOR ONE is a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of love, loss, found family, and live music.

“Dinner for One is 60 minutes of theatrical perfection - sweet, funny, charming, silly, bittersweet, and thoroughly entertaining.”

— Cherry and Spoon
