2 one act comedies with a charcuterie spread! Come ready to laugh and enjoy an evening of food and fun!

Each ticket includes food and non-alcoholic beverages, and two one act comedies presented by The Surry Arts Players.
Graceland by Ellen Byron
The place is the front entrance of Graceland, the late Elvis Presley’s Memphis mansion, three days before the estate is to be opened to the public. Two ardent Presley fans, Bev and Rootie are camped out before the gates, each determined to be the first to enter the sacred location. The two progress from dispute to shared confidences as they wait for the grand opening.
The Kentucky Marriage Proposal by Alice H. Houstle
Based on a play by Anton Chekhov
This delightful comedy deals with the stormy courtship of a nervous (but opinionated) bachelor and a rather plain (but equally opinionated) spinster, with her widowed mother acting as a referee.
Graceland and The Kentucky Marriage Proposal are presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, INC.
