A hick town is one in which there is no place to go and where you shouldn't be.
~Alexander Woollcott

A lovable misanthrope may be an oxymoron, but it is the only way to describe the character of Sheridan Whiteside in the Hart/Kaufman screwball comedy, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER !! Whiteside, based on the Algonquin Round Table stable Alexander Woollcott, represents the celebrity that everyone wants around but who cannot stand being around people!
Whiteside, stuck in a hick town due to an injury, refuses to conform to his surroundings but rather brings insanity to the lovely hamlet of Mesalia, Ohio. During the holiday season in the quiet home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley, the Whiteside invasion includes cockroaches, convicted murderers, movie stars, penguins and an octopus!

THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER has its debut in October 1939! It is a paradigm of the entertainment popular in the 1930’s. This classic screwball comedy has been entertaining audiences ever since! If you want a night out to see a show with clever writing, over the top characters, and laughs galore, the classic team of team of Kaufman and Hart's acclaimed favorite, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER is THE show for you!
