INDIANAPOLIS — A Beef & Boards Christmas, the dinner theatre’s annual sparkling celebration of the season, marks its 25th year in 2017. Now on stage, this year’s production is significant not only for its remarkable milestone, but also for the fact that it won’t return in 2018.
“A Beef & Boards Christmas has been our own original Christmas greeting to our guests for 25 years,” said Doug Stark, owner of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our audiences for making the show part of their holiday tradition.”
Stark himself will be an integral part of this year’s show, and will don the red suit to personally extend his heartfelt holiday wishes to all as Santa Claus.
After this year’s production, A Beef & Boards Christmas is going on a hiatus, Stark said. The variety show may return in a future season, but no definitive plans have been made. Opening up the holiday time slot allows Beef & Boards the opportunity to stage other seasonal productions the theatre’s been eager to present to its audiences.
“Elf, The Musical is coming to our stage for the first time in 2018,” Stark noted. “We hope to introduce even more families to Beef & Boards and become a part of their holiday tradition.”
A Beef & Boards Christmas will feature more than two dozen holiday songs, plus special guests Santa, Rudolph, and many other family-friendly characters.
There are 36 performances of A Beef & Boards Christmas in the intimate atmosphere of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $42.50 to $67.50, and include Chef Odell Ward’s holiday dinner buffet, fruit & salad bar, unlimited coffee, tea and lemonade.
