HILLSBORO — Myers Dinner Theatre, which has been entertaining Fountain County audiences for nearly a quarter of a century, plans to open from its COVID-19 hiatus on July 9 with two performances from the popular Southern Gospel Quartet, Triumphant, followed by the main stage re-opening with Disney’s The Little Mermaid on July 11.
“Governor Holcomb’s plan to re-open the state with no restrictions by July 4 coincides perfectly with our re-scheduled Triumphant event, and our production of The Little Mermaid,” said Jeremy Littlejohn, artistic director. “We are in the process of developing a plan that will ensure the safety of both our employees and customers. Some of the precautions were already in place before we were forced to shut down, but we have added extra levels of safety to ensure that everyone has a wonderful experience during their time in Hillsboro.”
The Triumphant Quartet will present two performances July 9 with seating for dinner at noon for the matinee and 6 p.m. for the evening performance. Disney’s The Little Mermaid opens July 11, and runs through the Aug. 2, with weekday and Saturday matinees seating for dinner at noon and curtain at 1:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday evening performances seat for dinner at 6 p.m. with curtain at 8 p.m. and Sunday twilight with seating for dinner at 5 p.m. and curtain at 6:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by phone at 765-798-4902, ext. 2, or by visiting our website at www.myersdt.com.
