Thomian
Society of Colombo: Dinner Theatre - a resplendent evening
 |
| Dr. Vijaya Corea |
A distinguished gathering of old Thomians from
S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia, Gurutalawa, Bandarawela
and S. Thomas' Preparatory School, Kollupitiya had what was described
by many of those present as 'one of the most memorable times' in
their lives on Saturday, May 7 at the Crystal Ballroom of Taj Samudra
Hotel.
Founder President of the Thomian Society of Colombo, Dr. Vijaya
Corea, was indeed gleeful as he welcomed the 'house full' audience
to the Dinner Theatre, which saw every ticket sold out eight days
prior to the event. Dr Corea said : "Tickets selling like hot
cakes have now become a hallmark of the activities of the Thomian
Society of Colombo - a matter of pride for the entire membership."
The evening began with friendship and chatter and the clicking of
glasses to the sound of 'cheers' as old Thomians, their guests and
friends mingled with unprecedented cordiality. Then, with each in
his/her seat, heads turned as the theatre was about to begin. Playwright/Actor,
Indu Dharmasena,

| A scene from the dinner theatre |
fulfilled all expectations as the two dramas -
"Room to Let" and "Fortress in the sky" produced
ripples of laughter that enhanced the degree of relaxation that
had already begun to fill the air. The sit-down dinner was sumptuous.
The fellowship was excellent. The Dinner Theatre of the Thomian
Society of Colombo enjoyed the distinction of remaining an evening
to remember.
