THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER
by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley are thrilled when Sheridan Whiteside, a brilliant, witty, and widely beloved radio celebrity, accepts their invitation to dinner on his tour through Ohio. However, when Whiteside injures himself by slipping on a piece of ice on their doorstep and is confined to their home for the better part of December, the Stanleys are not so pleased with the change in their household. This clever script, directed by Brian Shetterly is arguably one of the most beloved comedies of the American theatre.

THE MONKEY’S PAW and THE ACTOR’S NIGHTMARE
by W. W. Jacobs
& Christopher Durang
In another “first” for THE ALLEY, Sharon Stafford directs two one-act plays, one of terror and one of hilarity. The classic story,“THE MONKEY’S PAW”, by W.W. Jacob, is adapted for the stage and presents the story of a couple given a dried, monkey’s paw which grants three wishes, but not without hellish consequences. In “THE ACTOR’S NIGHTMARE” the playwright presents on stage a protagonist who finds himself backstage where he is apparently the understudy for the lead. It’s two plays for the price of one!

BUS STOP
by William Inge
Kathleen Wile makes her directorial debut with THE ALLEY in this story of travelers on a bus stranded in a small roadside diner during a Kansas snowstorm. One traveler, a nightclub singer, is pursued by “a young cowboy with all the romantic finesse of a rodeo bull”, while the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver find time to develop a friendship; a middle-aged scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe gets her first taste of romance.
It’s a wonderful “slice of life” classic of the stage and screen.
