a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

FRAMINGHAM: The Amazing Theater Company
seeks dynamic, versatile male actors 25-60 to help play a cast
of 50 characters, ranging in age from 4 to 75, in its upcoming
production of A.R. Gurney's The Dining Room.
Rehearsals begin the week of June 2 and will take place three
times a week until the week of June 28, when the show goes into
production week until opens August 2 and runs through August 11,
playing Friday & Saturday at 8 and Sunday at 2. Rehearsals and
performances will take place at the Amazing Things Arts Center,
160 Hollis St. A series of eighteen overlapping scenes, the play
visits a host of characters as they go about their daily
business. The scenes, which range from the comic to the serious,
explore the dynamic relationships of family life. The play takes
place 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 consists 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-middle-class WASP. The actors
change roles, personalities, and ages with virtuoso skill 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: a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy
returns from boarding school to discover his mother's
infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons
at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads
futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly,
the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical
experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and
abundant humanity. If you have any questions, please send an
e-mail to the director, Paul R. Dixon, at
dramaman1@verizon.net,
or call 857-919-0866.
