The Acadiaville Community Center had a very successful Lobster Dinner Theatre production which ran for a couple of years, which I attended and truly enjoyed. The acting by the young theatre group was amazing and the interaction between actors and their audience between acts as they served as waiters was great. These productions were a great promotional venue for island tourism and drew guite a number of visitors as well as locals to the center. The production left many of the patrons enthusiastic about returning to take in future productions. Unfortunately that production ceased a couple of years ago. It is nice to see a new production appear on the island and I am sure L' avenir d'Hortense et d'Aime' will be a great success. So make sure to purchase your ticket early and enjoy an evening of great entertainment and delicious food.

Until next week, enjoy some great food and great entertainment.
