The Man Who Came to Dinner
(2013-2014 Season)
November 10 – December 8, 2013 • Marroney Theatre
Arizona Repertory Theatre

ABOUT THE SHOW

This American classical farce tells the uproarious story of Sheridan Whiteside – critic, lecturer, radio orator, and friend of the great and near great. Having dined at the home of the prominent Stanley family in a small town in Ohio, Whiteside slips on their doorstep and injures his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of convalescence follows and hilarity ensues. Written by the same talented duo of You Can’t Take it With You and Once in a Lifetime, this Broadway classic is a perfect blend of high comedy and low farce, populated by an extravagant array of eccentric but lovable characters.

By George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Directed by Hank Stratton
