Fall Play: The Man Who Came To Dinner

Fall+Play%3A+The+Man+Who+Came+To+Dinner

Enjoy a night of laughter and heart at Langley High School’s production of The Man Who Came to Dinner. Originating on Broadway in 1939, Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s The Man Who Came to Dinner is a slapstick comedy for all generations.

A delightful dinner invitation turns dreadful when world-renowned renaissance man, Sheridan Whiteside, slips on Stanley’s doorstep and fractures his hip. Whiteside turns the Stanley house into his recovery home, bringing his lovestruck secretary, celebrity acquaintances, and oddball friends along with him.

From young couples to convicts to cinema stars, the students of Langley High School assemble an eccentric cast of characters. The student technical crew transforms the Langley stage into the 1930s, constructing a 1930s house onstage, dressing characters in lavish period-appropriate costumes, and more.
