"Four Queens in Hawaiian Shirts" -- The Richmond Triangle Players offer a play by Steven Dawson, directed by Jay McCullough, which opens on Sept. 17 in a cabaret setting at the Highwater Restaurant at Toad's Place. (RTP is in the process of renovating a building at 1400 Altamont Ave. and will be moving from its venue of 15 years at Fieldens Cabaret Theatre.)

In this Australian-generated production, four men head for a getaway at a fabulous gay resort, which -- without their knowledge -- has changed management and clientele, and the obvious havoc ensues.

Dinner and drinks will be available before each performance, as well as drinks at intermission. No food will be served during the performance. The show begins at 8 p.m. on performance dates with a Sunday matinee on Oct. 5 at 4 p.m.

To reserve tickets for the play, visit rtriangle.org or call (804) 346-8113. For early dinner reservations, Call Highwater Restaurant at (804) 648-1039.
