Ever had an annoying dinner guest who just wouldn't leave? The Coronado Playhouse presents Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's hilarious comedy The Man Who Came To Dinner. Set at Christmastime in 1930s Ohio, it's the story of venomous New York theater critic Sheridan Whiteside, who's been invited to dinner at the bucolic home of businessman Ernest Stanley. But a freak accident on the Stanley family's doorstep lands Whiteside in a wheelchair with a broken hip before he even enters the house. What follows are a tumultuous six weeks of confinement, during which time the convalescing curmudgeon riotously takes over the household with his illegal, dishonest and downright suspicious activities. San Diego favorite Phil Johnson stars as Sheridan Whiteside.

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark: Sly Satire Skewers Hollywood Racism

Full Price:: $43.00 - $55.00
Our Price:: $21.50 - $27.50

Set in Hollywood over a 70-year period, Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage's pseudo-biographical comedy By the Way, Meet Vera Stark follows the life of a headstrong African-American actress who begins a career in the 1930s, at a time when her only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters. Seventy years later, film buffs reflect on the life and legacy of the controversial star, whose eventual fame and fortune came at the price of perpetuating dangerous stereotypes. Nottage artfully blends comedy and social commentary for a thoroughly entertaining yet thought-provoking picture of the cultural climate that shaped Vera Stark. Clever and illuminating, this show draws on screwball films of the 1930s and uses today's fascination with celebrity and controversy to get to the truth behind the legend, and reflect on who she might have been if she'd lived in a different time.

Found the play entertaining, actors were good, play a little long. Our first visit to Coronado Playhouse. The view from the rear seats are at the mercy of the people in the front seat. We were surprised for such a nice area that there were no section risers for the rear seat tables. Found the seats uncomfortable especially for almost three hours with intermission. Had a kink in my neck from trying to see between heads. We drove down from North County.
