The Press Release |
||||
| The MHS Drama Club will be performing The Man Who Came
To Dinner this weekend. This cast and audience favorite revolves
around Sheridan Whiteside, a famous egotistic meddler, who injures himself
on the front steps of Mr. & Mrs. Ernest Stanley of Mesalia, Ohio.
His disruptive - and hilarious! - presence turns the lives of the family
and his inner circle upside-down, and only siller trickery can set things
right. C. Patrick L----- makes his stage debut as the opnionated, wheelchair-bound Mr. Whiteside, and Madi Barlow plays his trusted personal assistant. Dan Bertel, Rebecca Costello, Shannon Gallagher and Shannon Hugard play the family he "visits." John Cunha plays local reporter Bert Jefferson, Anthony F. Cox is the prankster friend who gets involved late in the game, and Ella Miller is the famous and beautiful actress who knows how to get what she wants. In addition, Michaela Conley plays the well-meaning local doctor, Lily Moy is the possibly crazy sister, Clara Maurer is a friendly mad scientist, Josh Suazo is a comlicating love interest, Maggie Kerins keeps the house running, and Gunnar Rice is a suave British Actor. Elsa Balles, Telli Quinn, Aleya D----, Emiy Hook, Sage Salvo, Marcos D-----, and Michael V----- round out the cast, while Emily Westcott steps out from the technical Crew to play Westcott, the radio technician. Come see how penguins, cockroaches, convicts, and a mummy play into this situation on May 4 and 5 at 8:00 PM in the MHS Cafeteria. Tickets are five dollars at the door. |
