RealSpace Brings hit show Dine Her to Niagara Falls for a limited run
RealSpace Theatre's mandate is to push the boundaries of traditional theatre by exploring environmental integration and offering the audience an engaging performance. In partnering with local communities via non-traditional venues, RealSpace Theatre offers a customized, one-of-a-kind experience that reinterprets the audience’s relationship to those environments. In addition to integrating the venue with the storyline and the show itself with the host community, RealSpace Theatre is renowned for its commitment to mentoring. Dine Her has provided actors as young as eight years old with an opportunity to be directed, choreographed and perform. In its last production, their 16 year old assistant stage manager learned the ropes by working alongside a veteran stage manager.
Why is Dine Her important to us?
This show has been embraced by audiences (and diner owners) in each short run, in each city we've produced it; people love this new theatre experience - one that is unique and fun and where they are part of the action. We think there is an exciting opportunity to bring Dine Her to a broader audience - to engage more people in something interactive..something that changes the way we look at spaces we live, work and play in, something that ties communities and businesses together - in Niagara Falls in the summer of 2015.
To promote Dine Her as widely as possible - to share the show with as many people as possible - we need your help.
Contributors will help get the word out to audiences of all ages, all walks of life, who are looking for an entertainment experience that is both loads of fun and thought provoking; more people will engage with art, ideas and others in a singularly special evening out.

What Dine Her is
Dine Her is love story gone awry. Imagine waiting for your boyfriend for over an hour and a half, only to be dished out a ridiculous story about a zombie invasion. Audiences of Dine Her sit alongside Tim & Liz as they sort out their relationship and the weird and wonderful situations that ensue. Warning: there is a great deal of comedy. You will laugh A LOT.

What We Need & What You Get
We need $8,000 to make sure we can tell audiences - locals, tourists, individuals, businesses - on both sides of the border - that this unique experience is happening. From there we hope the word will spread like a good zombie virus.

The Impact
There is a change afoot in how people spend their time and how they engage with art and culture. As a contributor you will be on the cutting edge of something that responds to the current needs of audiences and how they want to engage with performance and with different environments/spaces around them. We've accomplished four successful short runs in two cities. This scale is a larger step up. One we believe in, but one we need some help achieving.![]()
