It has become a tradition for the Wabash College Theater to produce original stage works written by students, faculty, and recognized writers. Dapple Gray is a new play by Associate Professor of Theater Dwight Watson. Watson's other plays include Eden Creek, staged first at Wabash College in 1986-87 (and since then in several productions), and Diamond City. Dapple Gray takes place on a sunny afternoon in a typical small-town park. Charles and Catherine, brother and sister, have arranged a picnic for their spirited and quick-tempered mother, Paralee March. Charles, thirty-one, is a clerk in a local hardware store, and Catherine, thirty-two, is a first-time mother. Charles and Catherine share special memories of their deceased father (buried in the cemetery next to the park), and they suspect their meddlesome mother's corrupting influence on their lives. The picnic becomes a comic tribunal where the line between parent and child becomes less recognizable.
