"The Dining Room," directed by theater department chair Connie Canaday Howard, runs Feb. 24 to March 13, in the MAC's Studio Theatre. Covering seven decades of upper middle class WASP family life in New England, the play's vignettes around a dining room table offer a mosaic of stories demonstrating that change is inevitable.
"Badger," directed by theater professor Amelia Barrett, runs March 24 to April 3 in the MAC's Playhouse Theatre. Five young women take newly available jobs at the Badger Ordnance Works during World War II. Facing dangerous work in a hostile work environment, the women bond through joy and heartbreak.
