A quiet English country inn seemed like an ideal setting for Bill (Lawrence) and Rachel (Brianna Anderson) to have
the perfect wedding – that is until the groom wakes up from his bachelor party with a strange, beautiful woman
(Mackenzie Comer) in the bed of their honeymoon suite and no memory of how they got there. Bill and his best
man, Tom (David Malloy) concoct a scheme to pass her off as the chambermaid, which works until the real maid
(Karena Stanley) arrives and begins meddling in the situation. They manage to pass her off as Tom’s new girlfriend,
Judy, but when the mystery girl reveals herself as the real Judy, the men are stuck with two chambermaids, two
girlfriends, and a convoluted web of lies concerning which one is which, all just in time for the bride’s prim and
proper mother (Barb Anthony) to arrive on the scene. Can Bill manage to sort out all the chaos and the lies to give
Rachel the perfect wedding they’ve always dreamed of?
JFL partners with Banquet Masters to offer a buffet prior to each performance that generally includes a garden salad
bar, rolls and butter, au gratin potatoes, yellow rice, a vegetable medley, and rotating meat, poultry, fish and dairy
entrees, along with a chef selected dessert assortment, coffee, and iced tea.

“This small yet adorable play house was perfect for the play presented… The $36.00 {ticket} was a small price to pay
for the plentiful and tasty buffet and the funny and perfectly acted play. Each character was very believable, and the
comedic timing was spot on. Hats off to all who gave their time and talents.”
“The dinner theatre is small enough to be close to the ‘action’ on the stage. The buffet food was super…
The play itself was delightful…entertaining, funny, well done with an appealing plot and a wonderful cast.”
“It must be serendipity! Happened to stumble upon this little gem in Largo, Florida with friends. Had few
expectations but was very pleased with the whole evening. The buffet was very plentiful and good. The price was a
good value at $36 for both the show and dinner. …Now to the show! A very quaint and well done facility with a
small cast of six performing a wonderful comedy … I laughed my tail off! Loved the show and the character of Trudy
just tickled my innards! Almost a full house on a Sunday evening. Make a reservation to be sure to get a great table.
Will revisit next time we pass this way.”
