  Started in the summer of 1988, the dinner theatre has thrilled audiences with their talent in Newfoundland culture.  This group of six Newfoundlanders offer their talents six nights a week during the summer.  When attending their show you get to witness the diverse talents they have.  The group not only performs, but prepare and serve a traditional meal.
