A story of secrets, mistaken identity and extramarital affairs, “Don’t Dress for Dinner” opened at the Warner Robins Little Theatre Friday. The play follows a Parisian couple, Bernard (Charles Bain) and Jacqueline (Pam Baker), who both have secret lovers. When Jacqueline decides to go out of town to visit her mother, Bernard invites his mistress, Suzanne (De J Baker), and best friend, Robert (Francis Bleyer), over for the weekend. Bernard hires a private chef by the name of Suzette (Felicity Watts) to prepare a gourmet meal for what is supposed to be the perfect weekend. Jacqueline discovers that Robert is in town and decides to stay because they are secretly seeing each other. The story takes a confusing turn as everyone tries to keep their affairs from coming to light.
Written by Marc Camoletti, the comedy first premiered in Paris before running in London where Patricia Phillips saw it for the first time. Phillips is the director of the Warner Robins Little Theatre adaptation. When casting for the show, Phillips said she had a sense of what she wanted, and the actors she chose were perfect for their roles. “The entire cast is wonderful to work with,” Phillips said. Francis Bleyer, who plays the role of Robert, said he auditioned for the play because he has worked with Phillips before and knows what a great director she is. He has been with the Warner Robins Little Theatre for a year and has done everything from acting to set production. The set for “Don’t Dress for Dinner” was created almost completely by Bleyer, Phillips said.

“I did my best to try to bring it to life,” Bleyer said. “Of all the sets I’ve worked on, I’m most proud of this one.”.
Macon Little Theatre begins its 2018-19 season — it’s 85th season — with “Ragtime.” “We wanted to kick the new season off with a big show that reflects the talent we have,” said Sylvia Haynie, artistic manager for MLT and director of “Ragtime.” “It’s a big musical and a big story — it’s epic. It covers about 10 years in the early 1900s. We have a large cast of more than 40 with 10 people involved in the live production crew. It’s going to be a great evening of entertainment — for sure.” As always, Haynie said, MLT’s standard for choosing plays is audience enjoyment and MLT’s available talent. As you would expect, “Ragtime” includes ragtime music, but Haynie said there is also gospel, march and cakewalk styles. “The music is beautiful and integral to the story,” she said. “The score is used in interesting ways, continuing through and underscoring scenes more like a soundtrack in a modern film.” The musical is based on E.
Doctorow’s 1975 novel. In it, he portrays historical facts and personalities along with his own created characters and storyline to develop a larger story and message.” “As well as entertaining, it’s a very timely show,” Haynie said. “It describes a transitional time in our history with its struggles between people of different races and cultural and economic situations.
It cuts across to tell the stories of ordinary people. There are the story’s characters but you’ll also recognize people like Harry Houdini, Booker T. Washington, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan, too.” Haynie said she believes the U.S. Is “at a similar turning point” today. And, she said “Ragtime” is a lively production because — well — it’s ragtime, and ragtime is lively.
“We’re so happy to have Jenny Morris choreograph it and Laura Voss as musical director,” Haynie said. “It adds up to a wonderful celebration in music and dance and a great, great story.” Haynie said a commissioned photo-art exhibit is featured in the MLT lobby for the production displaying many of the New York scenes mentioned in “Ragtime.” She also said cast members have created a display with notes about their own origins and what brought them to where they are now. Audience members are encouraged to participate by leaving their own notes during the run of the play. Also, Haynie said special pricing will be available July 18 for people working in education.
