Family DinnerBecause it’s funny when it’s not your family…
Family Dinner is coming home for the holidays! Created and directed by Twin Cities improv icon Molly Ritchie, Family Dinner will return in December of 2026 for a third year at the Dudley Riggs Theatre in downtown Minneapolis. A rotating cast of talented improvisers will take the stage for thirteen performances exploring all the ways that going home for the holidays can be… challenging.
In this completely improvised two-act play, the audience gets to be a fly on the wall as a family gathers to enjoy a traditional holiday dinner. As each member arrives, we learn about their history, their relationships, and all the things that make this particular family unique. In addition, each character is assigned a secret selected from audience suggestions. Just before intermission, we are treated to the show’s only scripted line, “Dinner’s ready!”
In the second act, dinner is served! The cast sits down to eat an actual meal composed of the finest foods Costco has to offer, and the evening culminates in all the hilarious drama that only a family and food can produce. They say that comedy equals tragedy plus time, but sometimes it just equals tragedy plus someone else.
