Wichita's longest-running dinner theater is taking its final bow.
    Crown Uptown Professional Dinner Theatre will close after 32 years on Sunday after a performance of "Disney's High School Musical."
    The run of that show has been cut short and a comedy called "Love, Sex and the IRS," will be canceled.
    The closing comes about six months after the death of founder Ted Morris.
    His wife and business partner, Karen Morris, has kept the theater open.
    Morris says she didn't want to get to the point of having to declare bankruptcy as they struggle with the current economy.
    She plans to use the 450-seat theater for private parties and weddings.
