MORE ABOUT THEATRE
|
Our American Theater Company is thrilled to continue its exploration of great American plays with its third season. In a series its calling “OUR AMERICAN TABLE,” OAT Co. will present three staged readings, and its first full production.
Less than 100 years ago, the top industry in our country was agriculture. Even 40 years ago, farmers and livestock were as much a part of the landscape as automobiles and tv sets. The jet set age of microwave dinners and obesity inducing fast food has overshadowed our agrarian roots. Globalization, multinational agribusiness – even the threat of global warming - makes us feel like we’re living on a completely different planet than the one our parents and grandparents remember. And yet, today we see attempts to hold onto the family farm and even the family supper with the expanding organic food movement and redefined American home-style restaurants.
This season we’re sampling some American voices on food, tradition, and the family farm (THE DINING ROOM, and CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS), and by extension, the dynamics of a small town community and the consequences of globalization (PICNIC and THREE HOTELS).
In an effort to reach out to new audiences, OAT Co. is adding a second night for the popular staged readings, and taking them on the road.
