Long Beach High School Theatre Department Presents
The Man Who Came to Dinner
by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart

Location: Long Beach High School Auditorium
Tickets: Click here to go to the tickets site
For special seating needs, call: (516) 897-6500

The Long Beach High School Theatre Department invites the Long Beach community to its fall production of The Man Who Came to Dinner, a classic American comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Performances will be held on November 20, 21, and 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Long Beach High School Auditorium.

Set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, just before Christmas in the late 1930s, the play follows the famously outlandish New York City radio wit Sheridan Whiteside, who is invited to dine at the home of factory owner Ernest W. Stanley and his family. Before he can even step inside, Whiteside slips on a patch of ice and injures his hip, forcing him to remain in the Stanleys’ home under the care of Dr. Bradley, Miss Preen, and his loyal secretary, Maggie Cutler.

Confined but undeterred, Whiteside proceeds to turn the household upside down—disrupting routines, sparking romances, and igniting chaos with an endless stream of eccentric visitors and outrageous antics. With its sharp wit, fast-paced dialogue, and colorful characters, The Man Who Came to Dinner delivers an evening of laughter and lively satire on celebrity, manners, and domestic mayhem.

Join us for this entertaining production showcasing the talent and creativity of Long Beach High School’s student performers and crew.

Long Beach High School’s Theatre and IB Dance students recently had the extraordinary opportunity to participate in a West End–style masterclass led by Kieran Jae, Head of Musical Theatre at Performers College Essex, part of BIMM University in the United Kingdom.

Performers College and BIMM University are internationally recognized for training performers who go on to work professionally across the West End, Broadway, and international stages.

During his visit to Long Beach High School, Mr. Jae worked with students in Studio in Theatre, Musical Theatre, and IB Dance classes—offering hands-on instruction, professional-level feedback, and an inspiring glimpse into the world of collegiate and professional performing arts training.

In addition, Mr. Jae shared valuable insight into UK performing arts education and pathways for international students interested in pursuing their passion abroad.

This special experience was made possible through a collaborative effort among the School Counseling Department, the Department of Media, Visual, and Performing Arts, and the Athletics Department, highlighting Long Beach’s commitment to providing students with diverse, world-class learning opportunities that bridge academics, wellness, and the arts.
