La Comedia Dinner Theatre


La Comedia Dinner Theatre is located in Springboro, Ohio. La Comedia is one of the nation's largest professional dinner theaters with Broadway-style productions. 2009 marks the 34th season. The theatre produces between 6 and 9 productions each year and also hosts music groups for short gigs. Guests are first served dinner buffet style and the show follows about an hour and a half later. Shows run for about 6 to 8 weeks.
La Comedia opened January 28, 1975 with the production of 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' under the direction of Dub Narramore. One of the first advertisements for the dinner theatre announced an "Exciting dinner and a Live Professional Broadway Stage Play", "both for only $6.65". At age 27, Joe Mitchell was the original producer and owner of La Comedia Dinner Theatre until he sold the establishment in 1987.
