About this Event
Guess Who's Coming to Dinnerby Tom Kreidler

Director: Donna Baldwin-Bradby


Presented in the MainStage Theatre at the Visual and Performing Arts Center at WCSU

About the Show

A progressive white couple's proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiance home to meet them. 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.
