CHANHASSEN, Minn. (AP) — Chanhassen Dinner Theatres is raising money during the entire month of March to help feed the hungry.

The “Feed My People” food drive is a partnership between Chanhassen Dinner Theatres and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, which is sponsoring Chanhassen’s production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Audience members will have a chance to donate money to Minnesota FoodShare’s March campaign.

The 300 employees of Chanhassen Dinner Theatres also will take part in the food drive. And cast members from “Jesus Christ Superstar” will meet and greet audience members as they leave the theater. The costumed characters will carry baskets to collect monetary donations.
