Teen Camp
August 8-19 -TEEN CAMP
Mon. - Fri. 1-5 p.m. For ages 12-17
Teacher: Susan Wefel
Scenes from A.R. Gurney's The Dining Room will be studied and rehearsed for a performance for family and friends. The play, which received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, focuses on the one room in the house that was once the hub of American family life--the dining room. Students will work on selected short vignettes from the play, each of which shows a scene of family life. Although unrelated, the scenes form a bigger picture by showing a fading part of American society, the privileged upper-middle class. The play is set in a time when families of certain means sat down to breakfast, lunch and dinner in the formal dining room. Some scenes are witty, some sad, others meaningful and touching.
