Discover ‘Who’s Your Father?’ this Christmas
Two venues to enjoy evening of plot twists, laughs and Maritime musical entertainment
If you grew up on the Island, you’ve likely been asked this key question: Who’s your father?
But what if you don’t know the answer?
This holiday season, Feast Dinner Theatres presents the comic side of this paternal dilemma in its latest production, “Who’s Your Father?”
“It’s ‘Mamma Mia’ on P.E.I. — until it goes off the rails!” says artistic director Sherri-Lee Darrach in a press release, noting the dinner theatre provides humorous echoes of the famous musical.
At this show, guests attend a holiday party hosted by Hayley — an Islander who uses the festive occasion to finally confirm her father’s identity.
Her investigation provides an evening packed with plot twists, laughter, top Maritime musical entertainment and interaction with performers who bring her story to life.
With references to “Mamma Mia” and flashbacks to the 1990s, the show offers a blend of music that adds to the nostalgia and fun of the night.
“Music creates the mood of the show,” says musical director Adam MacGregor in a press release, noting the selections build not only scenes, but also memories for the audience.
Guests can expect to connect with musical memories of ABBA, top bands of the 1990s and holiday favourites.
The casts boast a full slate of dinner theatre veterans, including Aaron Ellis, who is returning for his ninth show.
Ellis agrees the celebration of the season adds to the energy of the audience.
“They aren’t afraid to laugh,” he says. “We just want them to come and have fun.”
“Who’s Your Father?” is produced by Don Groom of White Rose Entertainment and written by Mike Allison, a Feast veteran and head writer for CBC comedy “This Hour Has 22 Minutes”.
