Dinner Theater On Del Paso

Here is a curious community theater option on Friday night, October 26th:

10/26: One Night Only - Live Dinner Theater on Del Paso Blvd!

"Hijinks at the Harding" - Live Comedic, Musical, Mystery Theater and Dinner

One Night Only! Friday, October 26, 2007.
Doors at 6:30 PM. Show starts at 7:00 PM.
Location: Harding Lodge, 2354 Forrest St, Sacramento, CA - that's the corner of Del Paso Blvd and Forrest St.
Admission: $30.00 (includes a catered buffet dinner).

"Hijinks at the Harding" draws from the 1890's convention of traveling "star" actors/singers touring towns to perform and entertain at theatrical venues with locals enlisted to provide the supporting cast. In "Hijinks,"
the audience is treated to an eccentric cast of characters wherein everything goes delightfully awry resulting in the untimely demise of one of them. The audience will then be called upon to help solve the mystery.

While an ensemble venture in the truest sense of the word, the show is primarily the result of a collaboration between actor/author, Mark Lyon, and actor/producer, Elizabeth Siracusa, who have jointly produced a unique Victorian Halloween show in Siracusa's home town of Winters each October for the past four years. Siracusa also serves as director on the production. The ensemble is comprised of talent from Nevada City, Sacramento and Winters, and music is provided by Jerry Campbell who will be traveling from Salt Lake City to be a part of the performance.

Mark Lyon holds a masters in theatre, is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, has performed original one-man plays across Canada and abroad and conducts seasonal historical "ghost walks" in his home town of Nevada City. He is also the author of the recently released book, "San Francisco Ghosts," the first comprehensive account of true San Francisco hauntings. In Hijinks at the Harding, Lyon lends his skills in the lead role of Stephen Templeton King, the traveling "star."
