Hamilton County Theater Guild presents the Belfry Theater production of The dining room, a comedy/drama by AR Gurney, which will open on January 21 with eight performances until January 30 at the Switch Theater at Ji-Eun Lee Music Academy in Fishers.

The dining room is a comedy of manners set in a dining room where a dozen and a half scenes from different homes overlap and intertwine. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso flair as they play a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers and giggling teenagers to Irish maids.
