Being a true fan of dinner theater, I’ve been anxious to visit this relatively new playhouse located just off I25 near the famous Johnson’s Corner in Johnstown, Colorado.

Dinner seating begins at 6 p.m. and being an overly prompt person, I arrived at 5:45 p.m. I waited in the large lobby, watching as the crowds rolled in.

I’ve heard great things about the new theater and I’m glad you validated it. Now the only dilemma we have is who to invite since it was going to be my Backbone hiking buddy and her hubby. 😉
