Nights At The Round Table is the perfect pick for community theatres seeking a quirky, heartfelt love story with a dash of small-town charm.
Set in a cozy Iowa bar in 1976, the story revolves around bashful bar owner Harry and his unflappable partner, Hazel. Tonight, the bar is abuzz as they celebrate a surprising turn in Harry’s otherwise clumsy love life. He’s met Diane, a new resident in town who, like Harry, dreams of love and a quiet existence.
Adding to the bar’s colorful atmosphere is “The Governor,” a perennial political candidate and the patrons’ favorite character. Once a serious contender in the 1950s, he now campaigns solely to fulfill a stipulation in his father’s will. His speeches, shamelessly plagiarized from famous politicians, still draw farmers from miles away, eager for tonight’s performance. But complications arise when Harry discovers a shocking twist—Diane has a husband, fresh out on parole and definitely not someone to trifle with.
With its quirky characters and heartfelt moments, Nights At The Round Table is a delightful blend of humor, drama, and nostalgia that will charm audiences everywhere.
