Foxcroft Winter Theater Presents The Dining Room
On January 17 and 18 at 7:30 pm, support the performing arts at Foxcroft during the winter theater production of The Dining Room, a Pulitzer-nominated play by A. R. Gurney.
Set in the dining room of a typical, well-to-do household, The Dining Room is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes — some funny, some touching, some rueful — which take place over breakfasts, dinners, and other occasions held in the space. Taken together, the vignettes offer a window into a vanishing class of society from the 1930’s to the 1980’s and illustrate an exceptional range of human relationships.
