Date Night w/ Dr. Don
Former Jekyll Island resident and star of the fun - though definitely not Oscar worthy - film Jekyll Island returns to the Golden Isles at The Historic Ritz Theatre for a Valentine's Day evening of laughs.

Dr Don is a catholic boy from Rochester, NY, raised in the 50's, dazed in the 60's, and confused pretty much from then on. He's a former University of Delaware Communications Professor, actor and comedian, who gave up classrooms for clubs to share laughs instead of lessons. Bring a date, have a laugh, and join us after the show to share a drink with Don and the production team.
