HS Drama Production Takes the Stage This Weekend

This year, the Babylon High School Drama Club has taken on the challenge of producing The Dining Room, a unique historical play written by A.R. Gurney.

The play itself is a comedy of manners, set in a single dining room where various scenes from different households overlap and intertwine. Overall, it tells the story of the dying and relatively short-lived culture of upper-middle class Americans, and the transition into a much more efficient society with less emphasis on tradition and more emphasis on progress. Some characters are made fun of, as is the culture itself, but there is also a genuine longing for the sense of stability, comfort and togetherness that the culture provides.

The show kicks off tonight, Friday, March 30 at 8 p.m. and continues through Saturday, March 31 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 1 at 2 p.m. All performances take place in Rowe Hall at Babylon High School.
