A stalwart, some mostly well known TheatrewWorks cast brings in each dinner and time that almost gives one the feeling of being a part of the meal. Returning to TheatreWorks, Michael Champlin, Cindy Goldfield, and Luisa Sermol bring their talent to the top. And making and their debut at TheatreWorks Olivia Nicole Hoffman and Sarah Lo shine in their roles.
