*Upcoming Auditions for Cassidy Production*

* *

Cassidy will be holding auditions for its production of *The Man Who Came
to Dinner*.



Written by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart

Directed by Dan Sekanic

Set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, it’s Christmastime in the 1930s.
The famously outlandish radio wit Sheridan Whiteside of New York City was
invited to dine at the house of rich factory owner Ernest W. Stanley. But
when misfortune befalls him on the steps of the Stanley house, his swarming
entourage creates more havoc than help and more comedy than can be imagined!
