"The Tavern" just opened this week at The Haymarket Theatre. It got a great review from Larry Kubert in the Lincoln Journal-Star and the show is great fun. I didn't realize exactly how much fun until I saw it myself with the leaves blowing in. 8,000 of them! I know 'cause I ordered them. There is a "storm orchestra" back stage that never stops and that creates the darkest stormiest night you ever saw. Combine that with some fine, funny acting by all concerned and perfect direction by Bobby Bonaventura and you've got a wild evening in the theatre.Don't let the title fool you, I know "tavern" means beer joint now, but back in the day it was another name for a wayside inn. This show is fun for the whole family. so bring the kids.
It starts at 7:30 and runs until 9:15 --perfect evening entertainment. The show runs Oct. 23 & 25, Oct. 29,30 & 31, Nov. 1, 4, 5 & 6.*
This is the mellerdrammer that started it all! See it for yourself!
*Note - The show doesn't play the nights of Husker Football home games.
