2 The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney Produced through Special Arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc. The Dining Room was first produced Off-Broadway By Playwrights Horizons in This play takes place in a dining room or rather, many dining rooms. This space is a room all of us have spent time in at one time or another under any number of circumstances. Do we use these spaces on a consistent basis and for something other than special occasions? More often than not the dining room is more of a temple to formal dining etiquette or a storage room. This has not always been the case. Here we have a series of stories that focus on how the American family has used the dining room through the years. The young actors you see this evening will depict a wide range of characters, situations and studies in human nature. The spotlight shines on OUR star! ADAM CASTEEL Congratulations on past performances, and good luck on future projects. LA is calling! Love, Mom, Dad, and Matt Thank you in advance for attending our first production of the school year. The cast and crew have put in many hours creating, evaluating, analyzing and making choices that fit the script and the author s intention. We hope you enjoy yourselves. This performance may not be suitable for all ages.
