A limited number of tickets remain for the Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) spring dinner show benefiting the people of Ukraine. The production will feature "The Blabbermouth, the Puff Monster, and the Wolf; Topsy-Turvy Tales from Ukraine" by Patrick Rainville Dorn, with dinner catered by Marcello's Cucina Italiana. Seats are still available for opening night, 6 p.m. June 3, and the matinee, 1 p.m. June 4, both at The DOOR in Sunriver. The closing show that night is sold out. Tickets may only be purchased at sunriverstars.org as there will be no onsite sales. "This production is something special – it is not just an evening of entertainment and delicious food," said Artistic Director, Victoria Kristy. "It is a way for all of us, those of us onstage and our guests, to support some of the hundreds of thousands of displaced people of Ukraine. We will be donating the full ticket price and 100% of the silent auction income to World Central Kitchen. A donation of just $50 feeds ten people!" SSCT is proud to partner with World Central Kitchen, a non-profit providing over 300,000 meals a day to Ukrainian cities. Patrons will also have the opportunity to donate an additional amount when purchasing tickets. Each of the three shows will be limited to 50 seats, so as to provide adequate spacing and service. In addition, there will be a cash bar and sunflower-themed Silent Auction featuring various items from the community, including Ukrainian flag-themed gifts from Lazy Daisy, fresh sunflower arrangements from Wild Poppy Florist, and original artwork and jewelry from local artists. The Stars' goal is to send $10,000 to WCK. "I love that members of the Sunriver community have partnered with us on this effort," Kristy said. "The pastors at The DOOR are once again opening their space and letting us transform it into our black box dinner theater. Thad Lodge, owner of Marcello's, is donating the cost of the food – we are so grateful!" The play comprises three comedic folk tales from Ukraine, brought to life by a troupe of traveling storytellers. In "The Blabbermouth," a clever woodsman devises an ingenious ruse to keep a buried treasure a secret, despite his gossipy wife. The next story tells of the goofy, cellar-dwelling "Puff Monster," who bites off more than it can chew. The trio is complete with the classic "Sirko and the Wolf," in which canine cousins outwit a cranky, noodle-wielding Babushka and make their wildest dreams come true. Dinner has been graciously donated by Marcello's and will include garlic bread and salad, fettucine pesto with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes, and Babushka's mini cupcakes for dessert. The Stars season will pick up again in the summer with a kids' drama camp followed by an all-ages production of "Oz!" in the fall.
