Members Who Went Said:Good venue, easy to get too. I didn't know what to expect from actors/venue, but thoroughly enjoyed and would return.
Choosy Frequent theatre-goer I too left at intermission. A confusing play at best, hard to figure out the constantly changing time periods and characters. I actually fell asleep more than once, just not really knowing or caring about any of them!
Anonymous Member Jon Keeling has several stand out performances. |

More Details About This Event: How have we changed in the past 100 years? And, if you had to pick one thing to symbolize that change, what would it be? Gurney attempts to answer these questions with a play set in a real, honest–to-goodness dining room, not some place in the kitchen where you set up a table, which becomes a character in the play, in addition to the 57 characters portrayed by the six actors, throughout the course of a "day." You’ll see a wide range of humanity, and an exploration of the traumas, joys, and tensions of a wide variety of people performed in a room that manages to symbolize the changing of "the good old days."
About The Foundry Players: The curtain went up on the Foundry Players in 1946. Through the years the Players' quality productions have ranged from the classics to yesterday's Broadway hits, one-acts to musicals, proscenium to arena stagings. Our performances have benefited the Washington Pastoral Counseling Center, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wolf Trap, and other area causes. Each season includes three main-stage productions and an occasional summer "fling." |
