LCC DRAMA DEPARTMENTPresentsTHE MAN WHOCAME TO DINNERByGeorge S. Kaufman and Moss Hart“It seems we’re going to have a real old-fashioned Christmas,” promises a characterin Kaufman and Hart’s timeless American comedy, The Man Who Came to Dinner.Yet this holiday season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley of Mesalia,Ohio, promises to be anything but, thanks to Sheridan Whiteside, famous critic,celebrity lecturer, radio personality, “intimate friend of the great and near great,” and,by many accounts, “the world’s rudest man.” A nasty spill on an icy porch during awinter lecture tour forces the formidable Mr. Whiteside to convalesce for the holidaysin Middle America, which he systematically turns upside down. His extendedfamily of luminaries, mad visionaries, and assorted oddballs threatens the narrowprovincial values and rectitude of the Stanley home as, unable to visit his world,Whiteside has his world visit him. Whiteside physically overtakes the house, insinuateshimself in family affairs and becomes the occasion for a nightmarish TwelveDays of Christmas featuring ten-thousand cockroaches, a clutch of choir boys, fourpenguins, three celebrities, two convicts, an octopus, and an Egyptian mummy.October 12, 13 & 14, 20067:30 p.m.Earl C Hargrove ChapelTickets: Adults: $7.00 – Students (through College): $5.00For information call: 217-732-3168, ex 2254Coming This SpringMarch 15, 16 & 17, 2007My Fair Ladyby Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick LoeweLCCS TO HOST ILLINOIS STATENOVEMBER 6-7, 2006David ButtsFeatured Speaker: David Butts, HarvestPrayer Ministries, Terre Haute, INSpecial session for Ministers’ Wiveswith Kim Butts –Topic: “Women of Prayer.”• Monday Afternoon Opening Session with David Butts, HarvestPrayer Ministries• Monday Evening’s After-Dinner Speaker: Darryl Bolen, FirstChristian Church, Greenville, IL• Tuesday A.M.
