Students at Elizabethtown Area High School (EAHS) will present “The Man W ho Came to Dinner,” a comedy written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 1, and at 1 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, in the school auditorium at 600 E. High St., Elizabethtown. After deliberating over numerous options for the fall play, co-directors Christine Blaisdell and Jenn Rutkowski settled on “The Man Who Came to Dinner” as the right fit for the students they anticipated would be auditioning. “We really liked that this show was well-known, and we really like the story this tells. It takes place over a few weeks but really gets into the relationships between the characters,” shared

Blaisdell. “We had also wished for a unit set, and this show helped us to accomplish that.” Set in the 1930s, “The Man Who Came to Dinner” follows opinionated and arrogant radio personality Sheridan Whiteside, portrayed by junior Carter Rutkowski, as he visits a small town in Ohio on a speaking tour. Whiteside injures himself after slipping on ice and becomes an unexpected houseguest of the Stanleys, a prominent local family. Whiteside does not hesitate to offer unsolicited advice to the family members, and when a romance begins between his assistant, Maggie Cutler, played by junior Claire Fritz, and local reporter Bert Jefferson, played by sophomore Evan Kready, he interferes as much as he can. “It’s hysterical, a n d t h e r e a r e a l o t o f t w i s t s ,” summarized Claire. See Fall Play pg 13
