In the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, this comedy of manners comprises a mosaic of interrelated scenes with settings ranging from the 1920s through the 1970s- some funny, some touching, some rueful. The actors change roles, personalities, and ages as they portray a wide variety of characters. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events. Intermingling swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes blend into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor, and abundant humanity in A.R. Gurney’s The Dining Room.
Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. on September 22-September 24 and a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday, September 25, in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. This production is directed by David Lane, Lecturer of Speech and Theatre Education, with production design by Andy Trusley, Assistant Professor of Theatre.
