Columbus Academy Student Theater will stage “The Dining Room” at 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday in our Schoedinger Theatre. Tickets are general admission, $5 per person – but free for Academy students, faculty and staff – and can be purchased at the door prior to each show.
The plot is comprised of 18 interrelated scenes that “coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.” Please be aware, however, that the themes and language may not be appropriate for young children.
According to director Scott Dillon: “The play tells the story of middle class America and explains through interrelated scenes, some funny and some touching, an in-depth portrait of a vanishing era of people during the time frame of the 1920s to 1940s. There are normally just six actors who portray the 54 different characters but in our case will feature 17 students.”
