Tickets are now available for the second performance of the CSI Theater Department's 2017-2018 Season, The Man Who Came to Dinner, directed by Shane Brown. The show will run December 6 - 9 at 7:30 p.m. and December 9 at 2 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Theater. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for high school students and seniors. Tickets available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, or online at  tickets.csi.edu

This comedy classic written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman had a successful run after opening on Broadway in 1939, and subsequently became a film, a musical, and a television movie. Famously outlandish New York City radio wit Sheridan Whiteside, having dined at the home of the Stanleys, slips on their icy doorstep, breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow. The irascible Whiteside threatens a lawsuit and monopolizes the Stanley living room; ex-convicts are invited to meals; and transatlantic calls bring a $784 phone bill. The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroys domestic tranquility. (It would take a stoical housewife to harbor penguins in her library, an octopus in her cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches in her kitchen.) When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the local reporter, Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons a glamorous actress, Lorraine, to win the affections of the young man. Don't miss this classic American romp!
