South Jersey Players (SJP), a local touring theater company, is bringing its acclaimed Dinner Theater series back to Aroma Restaurant in Ventnor for a fourth season. The event will take place on four consecutive Tuesday evenings—March 18, March 25, April 1, and April 8—starting at 5:30 p.m.
Patrons will enjoy a three-course plated meal featuring a Caesar salad, a choice of Chicken Parmigiana or Pasta Primavera, and a decadent Panna Cotta dessert. This year, a full cash bar will be available, offering an enhanced dining experience.
Adding to the ambiance, classical guitarist Reid Alburger will provide live music during the dinner hour. The evening will be hosted by local comedian and realtor Scott Friedman, setting the stage for an engaging night of entertainment.
Following dinner, guests will be treated to four original one-act plays: What Did Delaware and Cheap Therapy by Edward Shakespeare, Brothers Forever! by Jim O’Hara, and A Team of One by Sam Sardina. The performance segment, running approximately 75 minutes, will also feature live music from local musician Joey McGowan.
Marlene May, president of South Jersey Players, is excited to once again collaborate with Aroma’s owner, Tony Hoda, to produce this unique dinner theater experience.
The talented cast includes Edward Shakespeare, Shirlee Dibacco, Alfred Margerum, Joe Chialastri, Shirley Belitsky, Jared Migden, Jim O’Hara, Jamie Weinberg, Judy Parrish, Scott Higbee, and Sam Sardina. Stage management will be handled by Chikita Wallace, assisted by Jack Parrish, with graphics and print work provided by Peggy Spencer.
