“The Dining Room” is directed by Marge Uhlarik-Boller. She has been directing in Chicago and its area for 50 years. “’The Dining Room’ is a mosaic of a show,” says Uhlarik-Boller. “It is both hilarious and touching and uses the device of a dining room table to explore generations of a disappearing middle class through many moments of life. The actors change roles and ages and form a perfect ensemble of characters.”
