“The Man Who Came to Dinner,” which starred Nathan Lane on Broadway

“The Man Who Came to Dinner,” which starred Nathan Lane on Broadway, will be staged in the gorgeous new Performing Arts Center on the Arcadia High School campus.  Arcadia Patch readers, along with their family and friends, can get $30 VIP Seats for $15 (a 50% discount). 

Set in the 1930s, The Man Who Came to Dinner sparkles with witty dialogue and amusing characters.  If you’ve ever had a friend or family member that came to stay for a short visit…and then WOULD JUST NOT LEAVE, then you’ll identify with Ernest W. Stanley and his family when eccentric radio celebrity Sheridan Whiteside comes for dinner, slips on the ice injuring himself, and “moves in” indefinitely with his outrageous entourage and wacky friends.  The characters on stage are brought to life by Arcadia High School’s outstanding Theatre Department Director, Steven Volpe, and his talented, award winning students.

The play begins with a man falling and breaking his hip on the doorstep of the home of a man and his wife. With a broken hip, which results in him being restricted to a wheelchair, he bosses everyone around and winds up accumulating an octopus, a goose, a cockroach farm, and a mummy case, as well as the anger of his reluctant hosts.  You’ll laugh so hard you’ll cry, but more important, you’ll be glad you came
