With autumn upon us, now is the perfect time to visit Cornwell’s Turkeyville in Marshall, Mich. Events are happening almost every weekend, including “Halloween Adventure” every weekend in October, which includes a “haunted” barn, corn maze, hayrides, pumpkin patch and fresh apple cider and donuts.
There are also performances of “Million Dollar Quartet” at Cornwell’s Dinner Theatre happening daily through Oct. 19 on Tuesdays through Saturdays. After that, “Winter Wonderettes” takes center stage from Nov. 7 through Dec. 21. Matinees include lunch at noon with a 2 p.m. curtain, while evening shows on Saturdays include dinner at 6 p.m. with an 8 p.m. curtain.
“Million Dollar Quartet” is a recreation of a true historical event that happened on December 4, 1956, when Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley came together at Sun Records for what was perhaps the greatest jam session of all time.
“Winter Wonderettes” depicts an all-girl singing group, The Wonderettes, entertaining at the annual Harper’s Hardware Holiday Party. When Santa turns up missing, the girls use their talent and creative ingenuity to save the holiday party. The show features ’60s versions of holiday classics such as “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Run, Rudolph, Run” and “Winter Wonderland.”
Cornwell’s Dinner Theatre is an intimate 150-seat venue that provides “rock star seating” to everyone in the theatre, says Dexter Brigham, producing artistic director.
“And, when you combine the show with Turkeyville’s famous turkey feast with all the trimmin’s, it’s a perfect day or night out,” he adds.
Tickets are $65 each, which includes dinner, the show and tax. Audience members can purchase tickets by calling the box office at (269) 781-4293 or by visiting turkeyville.com.
