PLYMOUTH - It's a step back to the future as Plymouth High School's Alpha Delta Rho is having their annual Medieval Dinner this Friday. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Show starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance, $6 at the door.
The dinner is a long standing tradition for the club and includes a play written, directed and performed by the student members. While the theme is medieval, the plot usually includes some more modern references.
"We found over the years that comedy works best for this setting," said PHS teacher Kyle Coffman who took over advising the club from Ann Leichty the founder of the tradition. "And while we stay with the medieval setting we usually incorporate some things that parody modern events. Last year instead of the H1N1 (flu) epidemic we had the B1P1 which of course stood for black plague.
"This year we parody the Occupy Wall Street movement with Occupy the Castle. They all have their iQuills instead of iPads and there is a parody of our society's fascination with bounty hunters."
Members start writing the show in November each year - a natural for a literary club.
"It's a lot of fun to see those seeds of ideas start and watch them grow," said Coffman.
The show also includes the Crimson Connection performing the songs "Peg Leg Pete" and "Scarborough Fair." The play and dinner is a fundraiser for the group and the menu includes chicken, potatoes, scones, and lemonade.
Tickets are available at the door or from an Alpha Delta Rho member.
