The Man Who Came to Dinner by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman Directed by Stephen Wrentmore
December 4-19, 2026 Meldrum Theatre at the Einar Nielsen Field House Play
A fast-talking comedy stuffed with chaos, charm, and holiday cheer.
When famously acerbic radio personality Sheridan Whiteside slips on an icy doorstep and finds himself convalescing in a respectable Ohio home just before Christmas, he quickly turns polite holiday hospitality into full-blown pandemonium. As friends, eccentrics, aspiring actors, and assorted hangers-on descend upon the house, Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s The Man Who Came to Dinner unfolds into a whirlwind of sharp wit, romantic entanglements, and delightfully outsized characters. A true classic of American comedy, it’s a brisk, laugh-filled holiday treat with just the right touch of mischief.
“It is one of the funniest plays in the American theatre…this masterpiece stands above the rest for its mix of great comedic dialogue, exhilarating characters, and clever plotting.” — Stage and Cinema
“A rip-roaring comedy for the holidays!” — On Stage
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
