Exciting News for Greenville: Cafe and Then Some to Close in 2025!
Hey there, Greenville friends! We have some bittersweet news to share about a beloved local treasure. Cafe and Then Some, the quirky dinner theater that has been brightening our evenings since 1983, is planning to close its doors in November 2025. This cozy spot has been the perfect place for both laughter and good food, offering a wide range of original comedy in a welcoming atmosphere.
A Bit of History
For over four decades, the Cafe has been a hub for local talent and comedy lovers alike. Founded by the dynamic duo Dot McJunkin and NormaJean (you might know them as Maureen and Susan), this unique establishment mixed delicious meals with the excitement of live performances, creating an experience like none other. It’s hard to believe the time has come to say farewell, but there’s still plenty to enjoy before the final curtain falls!
What’s Happening Now?
Currently, the show “White Trash Lotus” is running and bringing in the laughs until September 21st. If you haven’t experienced it yet, make sure you grab your tickets! After that, from September 26th, the Cafe will be featuring a wildly spontaneous show called “Unscripted.” As the name suggests, anything goes in this exhilarating performance that promises four weeks of unscripted fun! You never know what might happen when the actors take the stage without a script—how exciting is that?
Mark Your Calendars for Holiday Fun
As we move into late October, the Cafe will shift its focus toward the festive season with a special Christmas show. The holiday spirit paired with the Cafe’s unique comedic touch is sure to be a delightful experience! The shows run Thursday through Saturday, with dinner at 6:30 PM and the magic of performance kicking off at 8:00 PM.
