ABOUT THE PLAY:
THE ART OF DINING
By Tina Howe

Directed by Julie Carvalho & Billy Winter

Welcome to the Golden Carrousel! Cal and Ellen are the owners and sole staff of this small, elegant gourmet restaurant. Chef Ellen is preoccupied with the food's quality and stopping Cal from sampling the ingredients as they try to earn enough income to pay off their debt. The increasingly eccentric assortment of diners—a married couple getting passionate over the menu, a trio of indecisive bachelorettes, and a frantic writer on a business meeting—are going to turn this evening on its head!
