The Dining Room

The lasted play Ben is acting in is The Dining Room, written by A. R. Gurney and Directed by Brian Lee. Shows are May 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, & 13.

The play takes place in the dining room, the now neglected space that was once the vital center of family life. There is a blending and overlapping of scenes with different families being showcased as they assemble daily for breakfast, dinner and for any and all special occasions.
The action comprises a mosaic of interrelated scenes — some funny, some touching, some rueful: a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a daughter decides whether to go to dancing lessons, or out with an aunt; a grandfather hears the pleas of his young grandson for money to go to college.

This play is SO awesome!!! If you can you should check it out! Victorian Players Theatre in Youngstown.
