Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn

Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre

The choice at the heart of Holiday Inn is anything but simple: the life you've built or the stage you left behind. Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn arrives at Beef And Boards Dinner Theatre in Indianapolis on November 29 at 1:00 PM, and it trades a single December glow for a full calendar of celebrations.

At its heart is Jim, an entertainer who walks away from show business for a Connecticut farmhouse. Then he meets schoolteacher Linda, and the two turn that farmhouse into an inn that puts on performances for different holidays. It's a charming premise with real tension underneath. Jim's friend Ted wants Linda as his Hollywood dance partner, so romance, ambition and loyalty collide. Will she chase the spotlight or stay where life feels rooted? That question gives the evening its pulse. It's a story about starting over, and about what we give up and keep when we chase the stage.

The songbook is Irving Berlin's, with favorites like Blue Skies, Easter Parade, Cheek to Cheek and White Christmas. These are melodies many of us already carry around, tied to family rooms, old movies and seasonal rituals. Hearing them woven into a living, breathing love story is a different kind of joy. If you want a Sunday afternoon outing that feels warm, familiar and a little bit special, this is a lovely choice for Indianapolis. Reserve your seats for Holiday Inn at Beef And Boards today and let Berlin's songs start your season.
