"The Dining Room"
by A.R. Gurney
directed by Lee Knippenberg
September 23-25, 2004, 8 p.m.
Conant Performing Arts Center
The Oglethorpe University Playmakers present a play by A.R.
Gurney, directed by Lee Knippenberg. "The Dining Room" takes
place in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, where
the family assembles daily for breakfast and dinner and for all
other special occasions. Comprised of a mosaic of interrelated
scenes -- some funny, some touching, some rueful -- this play
creates an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species, the
upper-middle-class WASP.

"Dancing at Lughnasa"
by Brian Friel
directed by Deborah Merola
November 18-20, 2004, 8 p.m.
Conant Performing Arts Center
The Oglethorpe University Playmakers present an extraordinary
play by Brian Friel, directed by Deborah Merola. Set in a
small Irish village during the summer of 1936, "Dancing at Lughnasa"
tells the story of five unmarried sisters and a young son.
Their world is disrupted by the return of an elder brother after 20
years as a missionary in Uganda and the harvest festival of Lughnasa,
a time of revelry and dancing. Animated by the music of Irish
fiddler Mick Kinney, "Dancing at Lughnasa" celebrates both ceremony
and innocence.
