About the Show
The Dining Room On Boca Grande is adapted from A.R. Gurney’s dramedy of manners. This table reading literally takes place around a dining room table in a mansion on Gilchrist Avenue. Through a vivid mosaic of scenes, different families in different time periods create a portrait of life on Boca Grande for the past 100 years. You’ll be enthralled as 17 actors carrying scripts change roles, personalities and ages as they portray over 40 characters. From little boys to stern grandparents to giggling teens to housemaids and butlers, each scene examines another aspect of life. Directed and adapted by longtime RPP member Erica Ress Martin, The Dining Room on Boca Grande is certain to satisfy your appetite for fun.
