The Saline High School Drama Club will present its fall production, The Man Who Came to Dinner, on November 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. and November 18 at 2 p.m. in the Ellen A Ewing Performing Arts Center at Saline High School.  Seating is general admission and tickets are available at the door ($7.00 for adults and $5.00 for students and seniors).

Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, The Man Who Came to Dinner premiered in 1939.  A classic in American comedy, it’s enjoyed several revivals in both New York and London, and is considered to be a staple of high school and community theaters. 

The Man Who Came to Dinner is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, in the weeks before Christmas.  Sheridan Whiteside, a radio celebrity known for his quick wit and large personality, has been invited to have dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stanley.  When Whiteside slips on the icy steps outside the house and injures his hip, he is forced to convalesce in the family’s library.  The Stanley’s are soon host to an eclectic mix of odd Hollywood and New York celebrities, as Whiteside’s friends descend on Mesalia to visit.  Throw in an absent-minded local doctor and a romance between Whiteside’s long-time secretary and the town newspaperman, and you have a perfect set-up for zany comedy.

The cast includes… Ellen Adle, Sushrut Athavale, Kevin Bolanos,  Delaney Brewer, Matt Burtell, Joshua Carmen, Abby Dester, Brenna Hines, Daniel Hochrein, Alexandra Konwinski, Ariana Lapine, Nathaniel Mack, Maddie Montambault, Ryan Neet, Paul Popa, Isabella Procassini, Eric Redfern, Chris Seeman, and Lindsey Zinbarg.  The crew includes Grant Gannon, Sam ARichmond, Lexi Morgan, and Emma Hambleton.  The production is directed by Kristen Glatz and the student director is Hannah Burke.
