River City Players Community Theatre presents 'Fast Food' at Port Cape

The River City Players Community Theatre’s new comedy “Fast Food” will fill the stage Thursday, Nov. 14, through Sunday, Nov. 17, at Port Cape, 19 N Water St. in Cape Girardeau.

“Fast Food” was written by Tracy Wells and directed by Holly Raines. River City Players Community Theatre president Debbie Barnhouse said the play centers around a fictional fast-food restaurant. Running about an hour long, the play follows the employees and customers of Mac Burgers.

“It gets a little crazy, because not only are the employees pretty lazy, the customers that come in to place their orders, they are really not your normal customers,” Barnhouse said.

She said all the actors besides two of them have more than one role. Barnhouse said it’s a lot of fun but can be a lot of work for their volunteer actors.

She said the actors have been practicing two nights a week since August.

“They’re wonderful to work with and they’re energetic and they’re excited,” Barnhouse said.

Dessert shows will cost $30 and dinner shows $48. Dessert begins at 6:30 p.m. with playtime at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and a matinee show with dessert starting at 1 p.m. with playtime at 2 p.m. Sunday.
