Susan Stamberg returns with her annual love letter to the pink pile of Thanksgiving mush known as Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish.

Extended through Aug. 18. North Coast Rep presents the return engagement of "DON'T DRESS FOR DINNER" is written in the style of a classic French farce, full of mistaken identities, rapid-fire dialogue, and unexpected twists. Witty dialogue, funny sight gags and a touch of slapstick are just a few ingredients that make "DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER" simmer into action. Playwright Marc Camoletti’s recipe for comedic confusion combines some sexy hanky-panky, mistaken identity, and, of course, dinner in a French country house. Audiences will be laughing from start to finish at the antics of these lovable (and sometimes not-so-lovable) characters. Don't miss this deliciously hilarious night of theatre.
