HILLSBORO — Myers Dinner Theatre is excited to continue their 2023 Main Stage season with one of the last musicals written by Richard Rogers, Two by Two.
This raucous and challenging musical comedy will open Friday with seating for dinner at 6 p.m. Eastern and the meal at 6:30 p.m. This play, directed by TJ Bird, will run through April 22.
Richard Rodgers entered his seventh decade of writing for the theatre with this fresh retelling of the Biblical story of Noah. It seems that the building of the ark was only the first of Noah’s many daunting challenges in a journey that wasn’t always smooth sailing. By turns inspirational and hilarious, Two by Two demonstrates that being chosen by God for great things does not necessarily simplify the daily demands on a father and husband. It’s good fun from the Good Book ... and when the land has dried, man and beast alike are invited to go forth and prosper in a bright New World.
This musical comedy will feature several MDT alumni and one new face, Annie Heartney who plays Goldie, one of Noah’s daughters-in-law. Returning to the stage will be MDT veterans Don Hart (Noah), Teresa Ross (Esther), Thomas Smith (Japheth), Rebecca Lea Evans (Leah), Caleb DeWitt (Shem), Daniel Lee Hollander (Ham) and Hannah Bergman (Rachel).
Two by Two opens Friday and runs through April 22, with weekday matinee seating for meals at 11:30 a.m. and curtain at 1:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday evening performances will have seating for meals at 6 p.m. with curtain at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees will have seating for meals at noon and curtain at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased by phone at 765-798-4902, ext. 2, or by visiting the MDT website at www.myersdt.com.
