In Reality, two new one-act plays by Gerald DiPego, will debut at the newly re-opened Terrace Theater in Solvang. DiPego is the screenwriter of such films as Phenomenon, Message in a Bottle, The Forgotten, Instinct, Sharky’s Machine, and many others. In Reality marks the sixth time his work has been presented in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Half of the profits from these presentations will be donated to Arts Outreach, an organization through which DiPego has taught creative writing, screenwriting, and “A Class for Movie Lovers” to valley residents.
Performances are two Fridays and Saturdays: Nov. 4 and 5 and Nov. 11 and 12. A dinner will be served by Manny’s in the spacious lobby before the show. Tickets cost $35 each, including dinner. A no-host bar will also be available. The theater will open at 6 p.m.; dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m.; curtain is at 7:45 p.m. for the show.
Tickets are available by calling Arts Outreach at 688-9533 or from Manny’s Restaurant.
