It’s the tale of an unwilling guest who couldn’t, then he wouldn’t, leave.
The classic comedy, “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” will be performed by Mineral Area College’s Little Theatre Guild at 7 p.m. nightly,Feb. 18-20, in the Fine Arts Theatre at the Park Hills Campus. Tickets are available at the MAC Bookstore or at the door on the night of the performances, and are $7 general admission, or $3 for MAC students and senior citizens.
The play begins as Sheridan Whiteside, world-famous theatre critic and radio star, makes a visit to Mesalia, Ohio, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, to have dinner with the town’s wealthy factory owner and his culture-vulture wife. When “Sherry” slips on a patch of ice outside Mr. Stanley’s house, his injury necessitates his being confined to a wheelchair at the Stanley house. The Stanleys and their young-adult children quickly realize Sherry’s ego and personality has just made their house ten times smaller than it actually is, and hilarity ensues as Sherry manipulates family members, invites all manner of guests – from convicts to movie stars—into his adopted home, and generally wreaks havoc on the family and the town from his wheeled perch in front of the Christmas tree.
Little Theatre Guild’s cast list includes:
