Lake George Dinner Theatre's 'Skin Deep' is a beauty of a show
LAKE GEORGE — Lake George Dinner Theatre offers one of the better entertainment packages in the area. That’s because you can get an exceptionally acted play along with a good meal for about the price of a show at most other professional theater venues, or the cost of a meal at one of the area’s better area restaurants. This year the play is “Skin Deep,” a small work by Jon Lonoff. It’s a solid play that has a unique blend of comedy and a light-hearted seriousness that works so well in a dinner-theater format. In “Skin Deep,” beneath the frequent laughter exists a heart-warming story of people about whom you can care...

Dinner, funny play both satisfy in Lake George
LAKE GEORGE — Quite honestly, dinner theater has never been a big part of my world. As separate elements -- dinner and theater -- I love and wholeheartedly support them both. But when they "moved in" together and started sharing the same space, my friendship cooled and my visits grew spare . . . But going to see "Skin Deep" at Lake George Dinner Theatre, several things became clear to me. One, mealtime is a moment to be savored and shared; two, there is nothing better on Earth than a good laugh; and three, a good marriage counselor can guide some questionable couplings into solid, sturdy and fruitful relationships. Skillfully finding the perfect play for the occasion, adding a great cast and good food, Terry Rabine, Lake George Dinner Theatre's producer and director, has worked some magic and answers that burning question, "Can this marriage be saved?" with a persuasive "yes."...

A Comical Feast!
Outrageously funny one-liners and a refreshingly human and topical subject matter make the Lake George Dinner Theatre’s current production of Skin Deep one of this summer’s biggest hits. A charming comedy that looks at serious issues, without resorting to being overly preachy, Skin Deep uses the set up of a blind date as its focal point, examining themes such as image, beauty, weight, self-esteem and inadequacy. As we live in an age where the general consensus is one that you must be perfect and look immaculate without an ounce of body fat, the play is also highly relatable to just about everyone . . .

Lake George Dinner Theatre’s ‘Skin Deep:’ Perfect Fare for a Summer Evening
Compared with comedy, dying is easy, the old adage goes. It’s one worth remembering when dismissing or dissing sitcoms, summer movies, the collected works of Neil Simon or, for that matter, dinner theater. The Lake George Dinner Theatre’s current production, “Skin Deep,” had its audience quaking with laughter, which is not something you or I could make happen. So give credit where credit is due: “Skin Deep” is well-crafted, well-executed comedy . . .

Skin Deep, The Hilarious Romantic Comedy, Is A Must See!
The Lake George Dinner Theatre has done it again! There is no doubt in my mind that this is indeed the best dinner theatre in the country, although I can’t substantiate that, due to the simple fact that I wouldn't bother to go to dinner theatre anywhere else . . .

Satisfying LG Dinner Theatre... More than 'Skin Deep'
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a light comedy. Or, on second thought: Maybe it does. Contrary to its title, this year's Lake George Dinner Theatre offering at the Holiday Inn Resort is more than just Skin Deep . . . Producer Terry Rabine, who now owns the Lake George Dinner Theater and directed Skin Deep, has a real winner on his hands this season . . . Skin Deep is deeply funny, full of real laughs, but it also has a strong sense of generosity toward its subject. . . . Cathy DeDe, The Chronicle . . . READ WHOLE REVIEW (.pdf)
