Wichita Area Hidden Secret #1

Our family has some favorite things to do in the Wichita area. Every time we find a new one I think I am going to write a short blog about it and give the place some kuddos so here goes with #1! Hopefully you will check the places out and enjoy them as much as we have!

Wichita Area Hidden Secret #1 - Mosley Street Melodrama

This is an absolute FAVORITE place for Mike and I to go on a date night! The first time we went was with a group from Mike's military unit for a Christmas party and we left there having laughed so hard our faces hurt. That was 9 years ago and we still love going to their shows.

The actors are full of talent. Some do this in their off season, others are there every show. A few of our favorites are Scott Noah, Monte Wheeler and Marty Gilbert (who married our good friend Astrid and is also the stage manager!). The servers are really great too and manage the entire room easily. Ask for Astrid if you go and tip big!

I would highly recommend their Christmas show but call early. There are lots of business Christmas parties that get scheduled so they fill up fast. They do a great job with large groups so if you need a place to schedule your office Christmas party, this is the place to go. One group I took was to the Christmas show and we went in November. Perfect time since everyone wasn't crazy busy with Christmas stuff yet.

Mosley Street is an audience participation theatre. That means you have certain things you say when a character comes on stage. Every time the villain comes on stage you yell "BOO, HISS!" and "YEAH!" for the hero. Then there are the select few audience members that get to go on stage to actually participate in something during the show.  Mike has actually been up there in a coconut bra and grass skirt! The story lines are hilarious and the musical comedy review showcases the singing talents of the cast.  Having a birthday or anniversary?  Make sure you let them know when making your reservation.  The lucky person will get to take a picture (so stinking funny!) with a member of the staff to take home with them. Bring out the Polaroid! They have an open bar and always a yummy drink of the night, plenty of popcorn for your table and if you are hungry, you must have dinner there.  They serve wonderful bbq from Pig In Pig Out!

 If I haven't convinced you yet to do this on your next date night, call me.  Mike and I would love to go with you and show you the ropes.  Good friends, good food and good shows. Nothing better!
