University Theater To Present
'The Man Who Came To Dinner'
"The Man Who Came to Din
ner" will open Wednesday at 8
p.m. in the Arena Theater,
Temple Building.
The play is the fourth and
final University Theater produc
tion of the 1953-54 season and
the last major production in the
Arena Theater.
Play director Dallas Williams
commented that the play was
written purely for amusement
and entertainment. "George
Kaufmann, the author, is a mas
ter at inventing humorous and
farcical situations in a play," he
said. "The play relies on the ec
centricity of the characters..
There is just one continuous
wise-crack after another."
WILLIAMS EXPLAINED that
"the plot is pure fabrication de
signed entirely for the purpose
of giving Whiteside an occasion
to flaunt his eccentric personal
ity in the face of a group of
artifical characters."
Hank Gibson will portray
Sheridan Whiteside. Other cast
members include: Mrs. Stanley,
Trudy Scriven; Miss Preen, Bar
bara Leigh; Richard Stanley,
Larry Hanson; John, James
Copp; June Stanley, Marilyn
Breitfelder; Sarah, Mary Lou
