Dinner guests sit on the jury in ‘Contempt of Court’

WOODBOURNE, NY — The Woodbourne Action Committee will hold its fourth annual Renaissance fundraiser, Big Sky Productions’ “Contempt of Court,” on Saturday, May 9 at the Woodbourne Firehouse on Route 52. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and court adjourns at 6:30 p.m. The jury (a.k.a. the audience) is invited to BYOB.

“Contempt of Court” is an audience participation dinner-theatre courtroom satire written by David Landau.

Peter Lawrence of Loch Sheldrake plays the witness.
