The comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner, written by George S . Kauf- man and Moss Hart, revolves around the activities of the pompous Sher- idan Whiteside. Mr. Whiteside un- willingly resides in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley because of an un- fortunate hip injury which he incures while he forcibly visits the Stanley ' s for dinner. During his recovery, many of Mr. Whiteside ' s zany friends come to cheer him and they add much chaos to the Stanley household. Despite the large cast under the direction of Mr. Conley for this year ' s fall production, the Drama Troupe had an enormous sense of camaraderie and encouragement. The fall production received rave re- views from students and families alike. With many new faces, the Dra- ma Troupe is in for fresh talent, while veterans are still performing with their usual flare.
