The Price is Right in Showcase Showdown at Amish Door
The Amish Door Village will host the game show dinner mystery Perry Columbus and the Showcase Showdown, a 34west Theater Company production, Feb. 25-27. A special matinee will be performed Feb. 26.Paying homage to such classic TV programs as The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal, Showcase Showdown is a fast-paced romantic-comedy featuring outrageous characters, such as schmaltzy host Pat Yorback and his dim-witted assistant, Lana Brite.
When a murder occurs during a live broadcast, it will take the help of the "studio audience" and house detective, Perry Columbus, to solve the crime.
Artistic director and actor, Jeffrey Querin, stated that there's plenty of opportunity for audience interaction and spontaneity.
"These romantic mysteries have become very popular with couples, groups, and families," said Querin.
Joining Querin in the cast is Stephen Baldwin, Maria Householder and Magdalyn Donnelly. The acting ensemble not only plays multiple roles but also improvises with audience members throughout the night.
Along with the entertainment, the Amish Door Restaurant provides a lavish home-cooked meal, including a fresh garden salad and their famous Amish Door pie.
All dinner theaters are held in the elegant banquet center of the Amish Door Restaurant in Wilmot, 1210 Winesburg Street, U.S. 62. Seating begins at 6:15 p.m.; matinee seating begins at 12:15 p.m.
