Nick, a fire captain, seeks the help of a journalist, Joan, to write eulogies for his “guys” – the eight men his company lost in the World Trade Center attack.

GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER Runs Sept. 24-Oct. 9

FT_Guess Whos Coming to Dinner logoGUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER
Falcon Theatre
Sept. 24-Oct. 9
[Newport]

Directed by Piper N. Davis

Cast: Elizabeth-Leigh Taylor as Matilda Binks, Cat Cook as Hillary St. George, Cathy Roesener as Christina Drayton, Jim Hopkins* as Matt Drayton, Zoe Rose Davidson as Joanna Drayton, Ryan-Chavez Richmond as Dr. John Prentice, Terry Gosdin as Monsignor Ryan, Darryl Hilton as John Prentice, Sr. & Joy Rolland-Oba as Mary Prentice

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. At the end of the day, will the love between young Joanna and John prevail? With humor and insight, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down.

9/15/21 Covid-19 Policy: Proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test required. Mask required. 
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.
