LLT
“Dinner with Friends” is the next offering by the Lakeside Little Theatre’s Ajijic Readers Theatre, with show dates Friday to Sunday, June 18-20.
“Dinner …” is a funny yet bittersweet examination of the married lives of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years. A fabulous dinner at the home of food writers Gabe and Karen proves hard to swallow when Beth drops the bomb that husband Tom wants out of their 12-year marriage. Suddenly, both couples find themselves grappling with questions of loyalty, individuality, and commitment in Donald Margulies’ deliciously funny, sharply observed Pulitzer Prize winning drama, delivering the time-tested flavor and richness of a classic dish.
Brian Fuqua will direct the cast of Daymn Young, Kathy Cody, Meridith Miller and Ken Yakiwchuk. All shows are at 4 p.m.
Tickets, 150 pesos, can be purchased and paid for by credit card at lakesidelittletheatre.com or at LLT’s box office Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to noon, or one hour before show time on performance days.
Covid-19 protocols will be in place, including socially distanced seating and mandatory masks.

Tickets are 500 and 350 pesos, and available at lakechapalasociety.com. Limited seating available.
