C’mon, admit it. You’ve received a gift that immediately upon opening you knew you’d give away. C’mon, admit it.

You’re no different than three of the couples in “The ReGifters,” a Christmas comedy by Robert Lynn that opens on Friday, Nov. 30, as part of Oak Street Playhouse’s annual dinner theater.

The dinner theater will be offered this weekend and next in the playhouse’s Flo Summitt Theatre in First-Centenary United Methodist Church. The dinner begins in the church’s Oak Street Center.

“It’s one of those shows everyone can relate to,” said Jerry Draper, managing producer of the playhouse and director of the production. “Most everyone I know has regifted or been the victim of regifting.”
