THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER Nearly everyone relishes the thought of being a star, or at least having close contact with one, including the Stanley family. So, when famed radio personality Sheridan Whiteside (Robert Vicker-man) was injured right outside their house, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley felt privileged to nurse such a great man back to health in their home. The Stanley's experienced a change in life as soon as Whiteside moved in. Along with Sheridan came his secretary, Maggie Cutter (Jennifer Vita), a nurse (Paula Hunt), and doctor (Sean Thomas). Fans found the Stanley residence and sent gifts and visited personally, long distance phone calls were received and made, and the whole Stanley family became a part of the background in their own home. Naturally, Mr. Stanley (Wade Flisram) started wondering if this was quite worth it. To top it off, Whiteside was suing Mr. Stanley for his injuries. Mr. Stanley did not like Whiteside taking over, but Mrs. Stanley (Lisa Hale) was convinced it was well worth the trouble for the famous Sheridan Whiteside. Whiteside was not an easy man to get along with. He was demanding and was nice only when he chose to be so. Young June Stanley (Julie Schutz) and her brother (Dan Norder) found in him a confidant, though. Sheridan approved of June's boyfriend Sandy (Mark Inman), much to her father's dismay. Whiteside did not like the press, so when Burt Jefferson (Brent Brayko) came' looking for a great story to keep his job, Burt was naturally sent away with nothing. But when Whiteside learned of Burt's sad situation, he helped him and the two become companions. With Burt's constant presence, Maggie couldn't help but fall in love. Whiteside did not like seeing her this way and feared losing her. He wanted her to forget Burt. To make this happen, he called in the glamorous Lorraine Sheldon (Cathy Brand) to read Burt's play. Burt jumped at the chance of spending time with this beautiful woman, satisfying Whiteside and greatly upsetting Maggie. Maggie realized the work of Whiteside and threatened to leave, making his plan backfire. Whiteside realized his mistake and, along with a friend Banjo (Mike Strahm), captured Lorraine in an Egyptian tomb, sending her away. Students at Monroe High shared the experiences of the Stanley household in ''The Man Who Came To Dinner. The play was performed March 12, 13, and 14 under the direction of Ms. Sarbacker and Ms. Dexheimer. Lorraine Sheldon (Cathy Brand) describes her cottage in Lake Placid and captures Burt Jefferson's (Brent Brayko) heart. Two dinner guests (Mark Inman and Mike Shreve) arrive at the Stanley's. It was, of course, Whiteside's idea. CAST OF THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER : SITTING; Carrie Hemming, Tanya Tupper, Shelly Perry, Dan Norder, and Dina Grabow.
