​

A progressive white couple’s proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiancé home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Blindsided by their daughter’s whirlwind romance and fearful for her future, Matt and Christina Drayton quickly come to realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family—especially in 1967. But they’re surprised to find they aren’t the only ones with concerns about the match, and it’s not long before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Draytons’ idyllic San Francisco terrace. 

Contains strong and mature language.

​

Our talented cast includes Grace Bryan, Tongie Davis, Brandy Durham, Bob Gerard, David Girard, Abigail Hunger, Ronnie McKinnon, Michael Ray, and Gloria Ware, all under the direction of Curtis J. Williams.
