NEW!! 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.
