AT THE TABLE
by Michael Perlman
with Kyle Aarons, David Bliss,
Blue Brewster, Sam Cutler,
Jackson Harris, Kat Moraros,
Maya Willams and Sarabell Wrigley
directed by Nathan Speckman
Six friends head out of the city on their annual retreat for the weekend. With no social media, no cell phones, no internet allowed at all, this leaves them with one thing to do…look up from their screens and talk to each other. And when the liquor starts flowing and the tongues start to loosen, no conversation is uneventful and no topic is off-limits. AT THE TABLE is a comedy that begs the question: What happens when those with privilege are pushed to the periphery and a marginalized minority suddenly finds its voice amplified? Who is allowed at what discussion table, and who isn't?
Special Thanks:
Mad Horse Theatre Company,
Royal River Commumity Players,
