MAT changes some dates on 'Black Comedy'

Havre Daily News staff

The local acting troupe has changed the dates on its dinner-theater production of Peter Shaffer’s farce “Black Comedy.”

The productions will run Friday and Saturday, April 7-8 and April 14-15, in Havre at the Beaver Creek Golf Course clubhouse and Friday and Saturday April 22-23 at the Eagles Club in Chinook.

No performances will be given the Thursdays of the weeks of production.

Tickets are $30 each, which includes dinner, or $200 if bought in advance for a table of eight for the second and third weeks, by April 10 for the second weekend and April 17 for the third. The advance purchase deadline for this weekend’s performance already is past.

The night includes a no-host social hour at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. and the show starting at 8 p.m.

The play, which first opened in 1965, tells the antics of a man who “borrowed” some items from his neighbor to impress his fianceé’s father and a wealthy art collector, and what happens when the neighbor returns when the lights go out from a power outage.
