Live Theater Serves Filling Fare
W
ith another beautiful Arizona autumn on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to shake off the summer monsoon gloom with a special evening of live theater and delightful dining. Forget the typical “dinner and a movie” night which often begins at a packed and pricey restaurant and is followed by a mad dash to the local cineplex where the latest “blockbuster” snoozer is playing. Dinner theaters offer a fascinating alternative that promises a memorable and stress-free night of fun and excitement.
melodramas where the crowds cheer and boo the on-stage antics of the cast and band. Restaurant mystery dinner theaters let you interact with the cast as you help solve crimes that unfold during dinner. Certain comedy clubs combine dinner and drinks with some of the hottest stand-up comedians touring the country today.
Arizona’s dinner theaters present a wide array of unique venues, vibrant live entertainment, and scrumptious menu selections. The venues themselves vary from a formal and elegant ambiance, like the Arizona Broadway Theatre in Peoria, to a laid-back rustic atmosphere with a dose of the raucous, like Gaslight Theatre in Tucson. Popular restaurants, such as Oregano’s, and comedy clubs, like the Tempe Improv, also host a different style of dinner theater. The spectrum of live entertainment that dinner theaters serve up covers everything from glitzy, full-length Broadway productions to sidesplitting skits and musical-comedy

Since music is often synonymous with dinner theaters, venues like Rockin’ R Ranch in Mesa keep their cowboy stage show rolling while the barbecue is passed around. The multi-talented wait staff at Black Bart’s in Flagstaff not only serves you food but entertains you with a great on-stage musical revue. As the name suggests, tasty cuisine also takes center stage at dinner theaters. Choose a venue that serves a magnificent three-course, candlelight dinner, or go for the place with hot pizza, ice cream, and cold drinks. It’s all good. As the curtain drops at the end of your night out, you’ll be glad you took a pass on the same old same old and ventured out to a dinner theater.

ON THE CUTTING EDGE Here are a few tips to help keep your countertops looking great. Always use a cutting board (not the countertop) when chopping or cutting. Protect countertops from heat damage by placing hot items on a trivet or hot pad. Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. With a little care, your countertops will continue to look as good as the day you moved in. Q AUTO THEFT PREVENTION You can reduce the risk of having your vehicle stolen by taking a few precautions: • never leave your keys in the car, not even for a few minutes • close the windows and lock the doors • use a steering wheel lock or other visible anti-theft device • conceal valuables, and put all packages, electronic devices, gym bags, etc., out of sight.
