KEARNEY – “Don’t Dress for Dinner” has more twists than a corkscrew, according to Janice Fronczak, production director and University of Nebraska at Kearney theatre professor.
The University Theatre at Kearney presents the play Wednesday through Sunday (Oct. 9-13). Performances are in the Miriam Drake Theatre at the UNK Fine Arts Building at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday (Oct. 9-12) and 2 p.m. on Sunday (Oct. 13).
When Jacqueline – played by Madison Hoge of Omaha – decides to visit her mother for a few days, her husband Bernard – Nathaniel Tiberius of Ogallala – sees an opportunity for a cozy weekend with his new mistress. But when his bachelor pal, Robert, plans a visit, everything changes.
According to Fronczak, one impossible situation leads to another as the hapless friend Robert finds himself the target of both amorous attention and wrathful vengeance, while Bernard tries desperately to salvage a scrap of illicit bliss from the wreckage of a weekend.
