Almost everyone has taken trips that were nothing like the travel brochure. Actress/singer Catherine Clarkson and her husband spent a week in Puerto Vallarta that went so horribly wrong, she wrote a comedy show about it. Called Mr. & Miss Adventure, the World Premiere of her one-woman show was unleashed in Mexico to a sold-out audience last year, and in two weeks she’ll perform the Canadian Premiere in Thorold.
The special dinner theatre show is being presented by Thorold Community Theatre and Trinity United Church as a fundraiser for the church on Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16 at Trinity’s Community Hall. The “misadventure” happened about five years ago, she said, during a trip that turned into “a series of unfortunate events. The things that happened to us, you wouldn’t believe.”
Appropriately, the show will accompany a catered Mexican-themed dinner by Comfort Kitchen, which Colbert guarantees is “not spicy.” The menu includes: mild salsa and nacho chips, chicken and lime soup, black bean quesadilla, Mexican stuffed pork loin with mild southwest seasoning, stuffed with onion, baby spinach and garlic, mild Mexican red rice and peas and Mexican chocolate brownie served with vanilla ice cream.
There will be a cash bar, reserved seating, a 50/50 draw, and door prizes. Tickets cost $40 per person.
