Dinner and a Show at Derby Dinner Playhouse

by Heather Hedgepeth

Louisville and the surrounding areas are lucky to have a wide variety of arts and entertainment venues. One such place is Derby Dinner Playhouse that is located just a few minutes north of Louisville in Clarksville, IN. Derby Dinner Playhouse is one of the largest dinner theatres in the country and has been entertaining guest for over thirty years.

When you make plans at Derby Dinner Playhouse the festivities start with a large buffet while the house vocal ensemble “Footnotes” entertains you while you eat. There is also a full bar and various desserts to finish off the meal.

Each year Derby Dinner Playhouse presents eight mainstage shows, four children’s musical theater productions, and seven concerts. If you have some theatrical experience you can even audition for one of the Playhouse’s shows.

There are evening shows ever Tuesday through Sunday night, and matinée shows every Sunday and Wednesday. Click here for times and prices.

The current mainstage show is Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, which will play from November 17 to December 31, 2007. The cast includes 21 professional actors and singers and is directed by Lee Buckholz.

“Based on the popular movie, this timeless classic is full of dancing, laughter and features some of the best songs ever written. Guaranteed to be the highlight of your Christmas Season! This holiday film classic is the inspiration for this stage musical, featuring two singing sisters who find themselves in a snowless ski lodge in the company of a pair of performing army buddies. Add a four-star general down on his luck, a nosy housekeeper, and score that’s more romantic than mistletoe, and the result is magic. Songs featured are: “Sisters”, “Count Your Blessings”, “White Christmas”, “Blue Skies”, “I Love A Piano” and more. “

So ride over to Clarksville and enjoy a favorite holiday classic and a great dinner that is just in time to get you into the Christmas and winter spirit.
