Musical on stage

NORWICH- The Spirit of Broadway Theater proudly presents "Convenience" by Gregg Coffin from March 6 to April 7. Performances are Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. "Convenience" is a sung-through musical about family, the ties that bind and the ones we struggle to break. A single mom and her estranged 26-year-old son have news for each other, but neither can find the words nor the courage. Liz can't tell her son, Vince that she's remarrying and moving away; Vince is afraid of how Liz will react when he tells her about his boyfriend. During one funny, awkward, touching week, they come to realize what so many families discover: The things they feared would tear them apart may actually, end up bringing them closer together. Tickets are $32. reserved seating. Major credit cards accepted. There will be a Black Tie Gala on Saturday, March 23. Join us dressed in your finery as we welcome Chef Rafael to our theater to prepare a epicurean feast. Noted chef at such famous locations as Maria's Seaside Restaurant in Westerly, Philomena's in Waterford and Max's in Hartford, he has agreed to share his culinary expertise with us for a full buffet experience, beginning with extraordinary hors d'oeuvres and ending with tantalizing desserts and amazing main course delights in-between. The evening also includes a short pre-show discussion about "Convenience" prior to the curtain. Tickets to this exceptional and exclusive evening are limited, and are $75 per person.
