On Feb. 28, the curtain closed on the 20th annual Thorndale Dinner Theatre.

The atmosphere at the end of this performance was bittersweet. Though the cast and crew bade sad farewells, as they have become like family, they were delighted with the overwhelming success of this year’s production.

The planning of such an ambitious project started last summer. Choosing the play, casting, building the set, weeks of rehearsals and transforming the Thorndale Lions Community Centre’s gym into a cozy theatre setting took dedication and thousands of hours of work by these community volunteers.

As well, the local groups and churches used their talents to provide delicious meals for the productions.
