The Man Who Came To Dinner proved to be a big success, with a standing ovation on closing night.  The comedy is about the deterioration of the Stanley household when the famous and obnoxious radio announcer, Sheriden Whiteside becomes their unwilling houseguest for a month when he falls and breaks his hip on their doorstep.

Bill Silvia performed the lead role of Whiteside.  Teresa McMahon performed the lead female role, Maggie Cutler, his secretary.  Jim Driscoll played the small-town newspaperman, Bert Jefferson, with whom Maggie falls in love.  Marion Schmier played Lorraine Sheldon, the glamorous movie star that Whiteside uses to steal Bert away from Maggie.

Linda Andrzejewski and Duane Severa played the Stanleys, who fall to the mercy of the demanding Whiteside.  Courtie Roach, Jackie Maurais, and Mike Cofield played some of Whiteside's very unusual friends, who show up in addition to an Egyptian mummy, a crate of live penguins, and 10, 000 cockroaches.  David Dougherty played Dr. Bradley and Donna Sagamang played Whiteside's personal assistant Nurse Preen, both of whom suffered much abuse.
