Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre will bring "Grumpy Old Men: The Musical" back to its stage on Thursday, Aug. 5, after closing its previous run at the start of the pandemic in March 2020. The return of the show will also mark the theater's first show operating at 100% capacity after more than a year of following the state mandates that had been in place from COVID-19.

"Grumpy Old Men: The Musical" will play at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre from Aug. 5 through Saturday, Sept. 4. This is a new musical adaptation of the 1993 Warner Bros. film about two aging neighbors who have been feuding most of their lives. The two grumpy retirees, whose verbal and sometimes physical altercations date back to their high school days, peak in rivalry when a beautiful, eccentric and charming woman moves into the neighborhood.

Back to reprise their lead roles is Luther Charkurian as John Gustafson, a retired history teacher and neighbor to retired TV repairman Max Goldman, played by Rob Summers. Ariel Truax, a college professor, is played by Miranda Jane.

A range of adult dinner and show ticket prices are currently available. The show is rated PG-13 due to some adult humor. Group pricing is available for groups of 16 or more. Tickets can be reserved by calling 717-898-1900, visiting http://www.DutchApple.com or stopping at the box office at 510 Centerville Road in Lancaster.
