Join us attending Home, I’m Darling at 2:30pm, May 21, at the Santa Paula Theater located at 125 South 7th Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060. Optional dinner at the Glen Tavern Inn follows.
The play, Home, I’m Darling, is a comedy about gender divide, which manages to ask important questions about what women might want and how they might successfully find it by retreating into a delusional cocoon to achieve martial bliss: “Judy wishes for a simpler time. A time of hats and ties and rotary telephones. A time when a wife greets her husband with a martini and a pair of slippers. Just be careful what you wish for.”
Tickets cost $22 – $24 and can be bought by clicking here: TICKETS
We’ll have an optional dinner afterwards at Enzo’s Italian Restaurant inside the Glen Tavern Inn, located at 134 N Mill St, Santa Paula, CA 93060. Selections include lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken marsala, antipasti and rustic pizza hot out of the old-world oven. One can also savor signature dishes like chicken picatta, bruschetta, and the eggplant parmigiano. Enjoy coastal favorites with their chef’s daily fish specials and their weekend specials such as parmesan crusted pork chops and linguine with clams.
Please join us for our General Meeting on Thursday, May 4, 6:30pm, at the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, 1363 Spinnaker Dr, Ventura Marina. At the General Meeting, we will celebrate Cinco de Mayo early. Chicken tacos and Spanish rice will be the main dish provided by the club, and we ask members to bring Mexican inspired sides and desserts. We will have a piñata and the bar will be stocked with Margaritas.
Besides celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we will install our new board of directors and also have a raffle with prizes. Estar allí o ser cuadrado!
