Theatre Artists Workshop continues its Classic Night Readings with two performances of A. R. Gurney"s "The Dining Room" on Friday, June 15 , and Saturday, June 16.
"The Dining Room" is a comedy of manners set in a single dining room where 18 scenes from different households (each with the same dining room set built in the early 1900s) overlap and intertwine as they comment on WASP culture, the price paid for emotional attachment to objects, and a sense of what has been gained and lost as our culture has changed.
Melody James (Westport), Katie Sparer (Stratford) and Mark Basile (Weston)
Performances will be at the Workshop, 5 Gregory Blvd., in Norwalk No charge for admission; donations accepted. For more information go to www.taworkshop.org.
