n Pine Grove: The Actors Guild of Schuylkill County will present "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" in the clubhouse at Sweet Arrow Lake County Park in what's being called the "Sweet Arrow Dinner Theater." Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and there will be two seatings, Nov. 2 and 3. In a flier, organizers referred to the presentation as a "dark comedy by Neil Simon." The play, according to the flier, chronicles the story of Mel and Edna Edison, "a middle-class, middle-aged, middle-happy couple living in a Manhattan high rise apartment building. Mel loses his job, the apartment is robbed, Edna gets a job, Mel loses his mind and Edna loses her job ... to say nothing of the more minor tribulations of broken air conditioners, jiggling toilets, noisy neighbors and helpful relatives." The $35 fee will include dinner and the show. Dinner will be served family-style and include ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, filling, corn, green beans, rolls and desert - BYOB. Reservations are required. For more information or reservations, contact Mike at 570-345-4963 or, via email, at mikastefanick@comcast.net. Everyone is welcome.
