La Comedia is turning 40 and we would love for you to celebrate with us in 2015! We are proud to have provided the region with "A Taste of Broadway" since 1975, and it is our hope to continue for at least another forty years! There have been many talented performers on our stage over the years - many of whom have gone onto very successful Broadway careers. We have staged numerous highly acclaimed and technically challenging productions, and even world premieres. I have been a part of La Comedia for thirtyone years, since starting as a server back in 1984. Eventually, I became the director of service and then the general manager. I have worked for all three previous owners, including my brother David, who purchased the theatre in 1995. Since January 2013, I have been the owner and producer and am proud to continue my family's involvement in the long, wonderful history of La Comedia. As we begin our next forty years, we are excited to announce the addition of our new "Lunch & Learn" Children's Theatre. We feel this will be the perfect way to introduce your children to their first "Taste of Broadway." We will also be holding the first ever "Camp Comedia" Musical Theatre Camp for children wanting to explore drama, music, and dance. Your dining experience begins... by being served our house signature salad, crowned with our own papaya chutney dressing. Once invited to our buffet, you will find chef-carved meats, our famous Norwegian cod deep fried in a premium beer batter, a variety of pastas and vegetables, including our famous sweet potato souffle, freshly baked breads, and some dishes to represent the “flavor” of the current production. To top it all off, our pastry chef creates a feature dessert specifically for each show. We also offer a scrumptious Sunday brunch menu that’s sure to satisfy the heartiest appetite! Coffee, tea, or milk are included with your dinner. La Comedia’s mixologists, working from our full-service bar, have designed an exciting beverage guide. Select from a wide variety of unique and original recipes as well as your traditional favorites including many without alcohol and ice cream drinks...and don’t forget, our specialty show drink comes with a souvenir glass! I am very proud of La Comedia's 40 year history and grateful to have been here for most of it. I am also excited about the future and look forward to providing you with "A Taste of Broadway" for many more years to come. Joseph K. Adkins Owner & Producer www.lacomedia.com * No Wednesday productions for this show Somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, North Carolina, way down on Highway 57, the ‘Pump Boys’ sell high octane and the ‘Dinettes’ serve up plenty of pie and sass at the Double Cupp Diner next door. Together they perform a rousing, down-home mix of country western, rock 'n' roll, and blues in this charming tale of friendship, romance, and heartbreak. Packed with hummable, hilarious songs like "Be Good Or Be Gone," "Tips," and "The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine," Pump Boys and Dinettes is a foot-stomping good time. 1-800-677-9505 or 1-937-746-4554 Set on a tropical island during World War II, South Pacific tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and their own prejudices. Considered by many to be the finest musical ever written, the score’s songs include such classics as "Some Enchanted Evening," "I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "Younger Than Springtime," "Bali Ha’i," "There Is Nothin’ Like A Dame," "This Nearly Was Mine" and "A Wonderful Guy." The original Broadway production won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score. The 2008 Broadway revival won seven Tonys including Best Musical Revival.
