“The Dining Room” showing in Russell Auditorium
The Department of Music & Theatre announces two special performances of A.R. Gurney’s “The Dining Room.”
In addition to the announced dates — Oct. 3-5 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. — the play will also perform Oct. 5 at 2 p.m.
Georgia College & State University’s production of “The Dining Room” is an experiment, with two different casts performing the play on alternate dates. Both casts offer performances of the same caliber; this also allows audience members to see how different actors bring different nuances to the same material. Special discounts are available for those interested in seeing both casts.
“The Dining Room” is a sometimes bittersweet, sometimes hilarious comedy, consisting of 18 scenes, each set in a different era and location, all revolving around the same dining room table. A cast of six actors portrays 57 characters each night.
All performances are in Russell Auditorium.
It is still not too late to purchase FlexPasses for our entire Theatre
season. Also included in the season are “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” (In the revised version approved by Charles Schultz before his death, which was a hit on Broadway) in November, Shakespeare’s ever-popular comedy on the war between the sexes, “The Taming of the Shrew,” in February 2003, and Karen Eterovich in her nationally-acclaimed one-woman show on Aphra Behn, a 17th century Englishwoman whose career included becoming the first commercially successful female playwright in English, a creator of the English novel, and a spy for the British crown.
