Dogwood Community Theater presents “The Dining Room” by A. R. Gurney. Evening performances on August 7 and 8 are at 7:30 p.m. with an afternoon performance on Sunday, August 9 at 3:00 p.m. 
The play, directed by Michael Coon, is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes…some funny, some touching, some rueful….which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-class White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
The actors change roles, personalities and ages as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events that dovetail swiftly and smoothly.
Tickets $15. Main Stage. Evening performances on August 7 and 8 are at 7:30 p.m. with an afternoon performance on Sunday, August 9 at 3:00 p.m.
The Dogwood Center Box Office is open Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and one hour prior to an event. For information, phone 231.924.8885.
