A classic comedy from the masters of 20th century American theatre, based on an actual event involving the playwrights' friend, the famous critic and raconteur Alexander Wolcott. The play tells the story of an unassuming Ohio family whose home is taken over by a visiting critic who only came to dinner. He is injured by a slip and fall, so must stay until he is mended. As the situation spins hilariously out of control, a parade of characters takes over the house, from the forgetful country doctor and the frazzled nurse, to the starry-eyed young lovers, famous Hollywood actors, a cockroach farm, an Egyptian mummy case, and a crate of penguins (gift of Admiral Richard E. Byrd!) Featuring a large cast of actors from Southwestern and the Georgetown community, this production is a delightful return to the comic style of the 1930s. Directed by Jared J. Stein in the large Alma Thomas Theater, The Man Who Came to Dinner is for the entire family!
