Dimitri Goes To Hollywood

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Returning to Kitchener after a successful SOLD OUT run in 2024!!

Come and follow Dimitri, a 40-year-old olive harvester from a quaint village in Corfu, Greece, as he sets off on a side-splitting journey to fulfill his unlikely dream of becoming a soap opera star in the glitzy world of Los Angeles. Armed with his unyielding spirit, a hilarious culture clash ensues as Dimitri navigates auditions, casting directors, and eccentric Hollywood characters, proving that dreams can be as unpredictable and entertaining as life itself!

Dimitri Goes To Hollywood was originally optioned as a feature film script in Los Angeles by a major production house but writer and creator Jimmy Chimarios decided to pump the brakes on taking it any further as a feature film due to creative differences with the studios. Instead Jimmy decided to take matters into his own hands and bring this original story to life with the help of the incredible theatre community in Kitchener, Ontario! If you laughed yourself silly with Nia Vardalos in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" or with Balki Bartokomous in the 90's Sitcom "Perfect Strangers", then you'll be sure to enjoy this hilarious romantic comedy!! 

"You can take the Greek out of the village, but you can't take the village out of the Greek! OPA!!" See you soon!
