The comedy Social Security focuses on a couple, David and Barbara, who are enjoying a life of tranquility and bliss inside their home. That bliss becomes total chaos when Barbara's crazy mother, a goody-goody sister, and the sister's CIA husband all begin living in the same place.
Andrew Bergman created the production, which Bekki Jo Schneider directed for Derby Dinner. The Social Security cast includes David Myers as David Kahn, Tina Jo Wallace as Barbara Kahn, Janet Essenpreis as Trudy, Cary Wiger as Martin, Rita Thomas as Sophie, and J.R. Stuart as Maurice.
The dinner buffet will feature entrees of carved turkey with gravy, Derby fried chicken, Derby fried fish, and pasta alfredo, and other items.
During Social Security's run, Derby Dinner's children's theater will present Sleeping Beauty. That show will begin on Saturday. More information on both shows can be found at the Derby Dinner Playhouse website.
