The New Theater Restaurant

The Play That Goes Wrong

This comedy is about a small theater company staging a production of a 1920s-style murder mystery but when the curtain goes up, everything quickly goes from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can't play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines.) The New Theater Restaurant in Overland Park, KS is one of the most successful dinner theaters in the country. They have a superb menu served buffet style. Your registration includes transportation, dinner, and the show. Please join us!
