Here at Myers, we live up to our slogan; you may come as a guest, but we will do everything we can to make sure you leave as family!

Myers Dinner Theatre is proud to present “The Singing Men of WGNN” for one concert on Saturday, March 6. The performance will begin with the meal being served at 6:30 p.m. and the concert beginning at 8:00 p.m..

The purpose of the Singing Men of ‘GNN is to: “Sing and Declare the Wonders of God and share His Good News.” In the summer of 1999, Mark Burns, General Manager of WGNN was led to establish a Christian Men’s Chorus. Under the original direction of Dr. Barrington Coleman, Professor and Director of the University of Illinois Men’s Glee Club, men were attracted to join from all walks of life. This diverse group consists of men of all ages, professions, denominations and life experiences, including physicians, farmers, professors and plumbers. Today, “The Singing Men of GNN” are more than sixty enthusiastic men, from towns throughout east central Illinois. They are directed by Stephen McClarey, the long-time Director of the Decatur Park Singers and the Greater Decatur Chorale. A typical concert consists of traditional hymns, worship and gospel songs; sprinkled with patriotic selections; and seasoned with modern praise to bless a diverse audience. Selections include various instruments, solos, trios, quartets, testimonies and audience participation. “The Singing Men of ‘GNN” have been in over 100 concerts in venues from Chicago to Paris, Illinois. They have included University of Illinois-Krannert Center, Memorial Stadium, Assembly Hall, National Hot Air Balloon Festival, Virginia Theater, Illinois State Capital, Christmas Concerts, Auto Shows, Community Fairs, Church Events, Veterans Celebrations, Patriotic Events, Community Events and Dinner Theaters.

Join us for a musical comedy that is both hilarious and uplifting as the Sanders Family Singers make their return to the gospel circuit after five years. Restarting their performances in a small church in North Carolina, presided over by a nervous pastor and two disapproving church benefactors, the Sanders family share their heart-felt stories and beliefs with the congregation. The musical score consists of over 25 gospel songs, including "Church in the Wildwood," "Jesus Is Mine," "Whispering Hope" and "I'll Fly Away." Crawfordsville native Richard Merriman makes his directing debut at MDT, as well as playing Burl, the father of the family. Tickets are $36.00 each for adults and $25.00 each for students aged 4-18. Children 3 and under are free. Please ask about special group rates. Call 765-798-4902, extension 2, for information, show dates and times and reservations.
