Blair On Stage Friday, October 23, 9:00 PM Dubois Theatre, Armstrong-Hipkins Center for the Arts
A special preview of Blair’s performing arts for parents of Blair students.
The Blair Academy Players Present THE DINING ROOM by A.R. Gurney This play is a brilliantly conceived and richly humorous theatrical tour de force (and Off-Broadway success). The performers portray a wide array of diverse characters as they delineate the dying lifestyle of wealthy WASPdom, and the now neglected room which was once a vital center of family life. The New York Times says “…often funny and rueful and, by the end, very moving.” October 29, 30 & 31, 7:30 PM
