Here’s more from Jan at the Community Theatre:
A.R. Gurney’s The Dining Room opens THIS Thursday, February 25 at 7:30 p.m. on the Whittier stage.
This show promises to be fun....
Both humorous and poignant at the same time, the play is set, not surprisingly, inside a dining room. Here, we meet a variety of characters played by six adult actors who change roles, personalities and ages (even becoming children as in the birthday party scene above).
Director Merritt Olsen says the story creates a portrait of a vanishing species: the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP). “The play also has a thought-provoking message about the dining room and family relationships, and how they relate to modern times.”
For the actors, it has been a very creative and challenging experience as they quickly change costumes and characters. Those island talents are Rosa Blair, Marcy Hahn, James Krall, Dorian Oliver, Amanda Wyckoff and Nicholas Zervas.
The Dining Room also plays THIS Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. It continues March 4-6 at 7:30 pm
