On Stage Tonight: "The Man Who Came to Dinner"


   Tonight's the final performance for this weekend for the classic comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner - it starts at 8 p.m. at the Renaissance Theatre at 900 8th Street (in the old Huntington High School). (If you can't make it, the good news is: there are two more shows next week.)

   The first performance was last night, and judging by the enthusiastic audience, it went well. When laughter rings out and characters get applause as they exit the stage, you know it's something special.

   I admit my prejudice - I play a small part in the show. But (present company excepted) the cast is loaded with amazing talent, led by Mike Murdock in the lead role (he is "The Man"). It's an incredibly challenging part, and he handles it with amazing skill and sheer force of personality. He's surrounded by an All-Star cast, and they've assembled a very funny (and very intelligent) show.

   Hope you can catch it!
