FORT PAYNE, Ala.— The DeKalb County Children’s Advocacy Center will be hosting it’s 22nd annual dinner theatre on Feb. 11-13, 15, and 18-20. The cost of tickets is $25. Five of the seven days are sold out. To make reservations, call 256-997-9700. The meal begins at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. in the First United Methodist Church Life Center in Fort Payne. There are 37 tables that will seat 8-10 people. Meal will be catered by Pat Vezzertiz. This year’s production is titled “The One That Got Away.”

The proceeds from the theatre go to providing free services for at risk or abused children. “We get grants from the state of Alabama but they don’t come close to what we earn with the theatre,” Advocacy Center employee Terri Killian said. “Our cast and staff is made up of 50-70 volunteers. So many volunteers help out. There is no way we could do this without all of them.”
