What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with the wicked repartee, razor-keen wit, poetry, and unabashed ardor of two gloriously free-thinking artists—Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West.  AND a delicious dinner!

 

Join us for our fourth annual Valentine’s Day Dinner Theatre at Webster’s Bookstore Café.

 

“Look here Vita — throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come.” (V. Woolf)

 

The abiding friendship and fervent affair between Virginia Woolf, one of the great modern English language writers, and the dynamic Vita Sackville-West, writer and master garden designer, was heightened by their long correspondence.

 

These letters form the basis of Vita and Virginia.  

 

With Elaine Meder-Wilgus as Virginia Woolf and Cynthia Mazzant as Vita Sackville-West, this production is a reprise of Tempest’s favorite Valentine to the State College area community.

 

Dinner prepared by Webster’s Catering using organic, gluten-free ingredients, locally-sourced whenever possible. Select from Fennel Crusted Salmon, Roasted Chicken, or Portabello Wellington (vegan). Sides, dessert, and coffee included. BYOB.
