Juanita High School drama to present “The Man Who Came to Dinner”

The Juanita High School drama department will present “The Man Who Came to Dinner” during March.

The 1930s comedy is directed by Elizabeth McMurray-Hauk, with shows at 7:30 p.m. on March 16, 17 and 23-25, and a show at 2 p.m. on March 18 at Juanita High School.

The play is described as: “Sheridan Whiteside is the dinner guest who just won’t leave! Mr. Whiteside, famous (and infamous) radio personality, settles into the Stanley home in Mesalia, Ohio, after slipping on a piece of ice on the doorstep injuring his hip. Chaos and high comedy ensue as Sherry plays host to Hollywood’s elite. Outrageously fabulous gifts arrive at the Stanley home, including a crate of penguins, a terrarium filled with cockroaches, and a mummy from Egypt! Romance, jokes, and a parade of memorable characters fill the stage in this 1930’s classic, The Man Who Came To Dinner!”

Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults, with proceeds going to benefit Hopelink.

Juanita High School is located at 10601 NE 132nd St. in Kirkland.
