Niagara Falls Dinner Theatre presents....
Spend Christmas with ‘Ethan Claymore’
This play blends the softness of a Norman Rockwell winter scene with a touch of "Seinfeld" - a truly affectionate comedy. Just before Christmas, struggling egg farmer/artist Ethan Claymore meets a woman who could turn his life around, and receives a visit from his estranged, and recently deceased, older brother. A story that warms the heart, coaxes the occasional tear, and paints the kind of world we think we deserve. This play could become a Christmas classic. "A successful mix of sentiment and gentle comedy. A heartwarming evening of theatre."  - London Free Press
