- 6 P.M. – Dinner and show at Conklin’s Barn II Dinner Theatre
Through December 31, Conklin’s features Move Over Mrs. Markham, a hilarious farce that takes place in an elegant top floor apartment where the residents, Philip and Joanna Markham-along with an assortment of friends and strangers-attempt to make use of the place for a series of amorous rendezvous! Fifteen years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free-for-all! But everything works out, and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man…her husband! It’s a guaranteed holiday hit. Cost for dinner and show is $25.50 to $29.50. For more information, call 965-2545.PO Box 310
