Chico Theater Company's third annual fundraising dinner and show, in this case an encore production of "Beyond Karaoke," is set for Saturday.

For $30, attendees can attend a reception and silent auction at 5 p.m., a catered dinner at 6 p.m. and the opening performance of the musical at 7:30 p.m. Those who would like to only attend the performance may do so for $15.

"Beyond Karaoke" chronicles a small desert community, where the town's airport maintenance hangar has been converted into a World War II-themed bar. To drum up business, the proprietors decide to stage a karaoke show.

After Saturday, "Beyond Karaoke" continues at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays to Saturdays through Sept. 16, with a 2 p.m. performance Sept. 10 at Chico Theater Company, 166 E. Eaton Road. Tickets, $15, are available at the box office (noon-6 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday), by calling 894-3282 or visiting www.chicotheatercompany.com.
