My pal Dave Lavender provides some info about this weekend's production of the comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner (along with some other theatre news) - you can read the whole thing right here.
You can also see a photo gallery of scenes from a rehearsal earlier in the week here (though not everyone had their final costume at that rehearsal). The photos (like the one above) are by Bishop Nash.
Here's what Dave had to say:
ARTS Resources for the Tri-State, 900 8th St., Huntington, kicks off the second season of its company theater offerings with the classic American comedy by two of the 20th Century's greatest playwrights, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart.
Directed by professional actor and director Gene Anthony, The Man Who Came to Dinner will be performed at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 16-17 and Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23-24 at the Renaissance Center.
Set in 1930s Ohio during Christmas, The Man Who Came to Dinner centers around radio personality Sheridan Whiteside (played by Michael Murdock) and his recovery after an accident strands him at the home of a rich factory owner and his family. Zingers fly freely as his famous friends come to pay him visits.
The cast, of course, includes lots of ARTS regulars such as Todd Green, Linda Reynolds, Greg Kiser, Tristan Reynolds and Eric Wilson, as well as some new faces, including Jake Sharp of the Cabell Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Sharp, who portrayed Johnse Hatfield in the re-enactments in the History channel documentary America's Greatest Feud: Hatfields and McCoys, plays a convict, a deputy and a radio man. Other radio men and convicts in the play include Luke Hagley and John Armstrong.
The show only is $10 and dinner and a show is $25. Call 304-733 ARTS (2787) or go online at www.artstristate.org.
