Kent State Stark Theatre Presents The Man Who Came to Dinner



(Jackson Township, OH)  Kent State University Stark Theatre presents the season's second theatrical event, The Man Who Came to Dinner, by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The production will be performed on October 31, November 1, 7 and 8 at 8 p.m., with matinee performances on November 2 and 9 at 2:30 p.m. in the Kent State Stark Theatre, 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township. Opening night is Scholarship Night. All of the proceeds from the October 31 performance will benefit music and theatre scholarships.



This holiday chaos in three acts, by the legendary team of Kaufman and Hart, holds its place as one of the most beloved American comedies. Sheridan Whiteside is a New Yorker to the last follicle of his beard and a critic of the entertainment industry - along with absolutely everything and everyone else. A slip on an icy step finds him "wounded" and trapped in the home of the Stanley family and no one in the house, or in the town of Mesalia, for that matter, will ever be the same.



Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for non-Kent State students, children under 17 and Senior Citizens. All Kent State students are admitted free of charge with student ID. For reservations and group rates, contact the Kent State Stark Theatre Box Office, Mondays through Fridays from 1 to 5 p.m. at 330-244-3348, beginning October 20.



Directing The Man Who Came to Dinner is Phillip Robb, assistant professor of theatre at Kent State Stark. Louis Williams is the scenic and lighting designer. Susan Blurton is the costume designer.
