Playmakers Theater announces the cast for their 2006-07 season. The first play will be The Dining Room.
Achieving sparkling success in it\'s 1982 Broadway opening, The Dining Room, is challenging for both the actor and the audience.
Dining Room offers a wonderful range of clearly defined rich roles and can be perceived as an object lesson in dramatic conventions. Do we share Aunt Harriett\'s view that there is something precious about the finger bowls, manners, and elegance? Yet we somehow understand, and are on her side as she explodes, And you can tell that professor of yours that I\'ve a good mind to drive up to Amherst, with this pistol- handled butter knife on the seat beside me, and cut off his anthropological.

\' Yes, you are marking your calendars now!
The Dining Room, written by A. R.
Gurney, is directed by Maya Levy, First Actor is Mack Maginnis, Second Actor - John Chetta, Third Actor - Calvin Billiot, First Actress - Rhonda Powell, Second Actress - Agnelique LaCour, and Third Actress - Kristin Dugas.
Each actor plays ten roles, ranging from naughty children to maids seeking a better life. Everything happens in The Dining Room, around the dining room table and is a memorial to and a celebration of the Dining Room, that wonderful place of family gathering which now lives mostly in memory.
The Dining Room opens on September 15 and will run for three week-ends.
Season tickets will be on sale for the run of the show. The rest of the season consists of Dearly Departed in November, The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare in March, Crimes of the Heart in May and Babes in Toyland
for the summer musical.
