Guess Who’s Com­ing to Din­ner, a 1967 Amer­i­can roman­tic com­e­dy-dra­ma film pro­duced and direct­ed by Stan­ley Kramer, and writ­ten by William Rose. It stars Spencer Tra­cy (in his final role), Sid­ney Poiti­er, and Katharine Hep­burn, and fea­tures Hepburn’s niece Katharine Houghton.

The film was one of the few films of the time to depict an inter­ra­cial mar­riage in a pos­i­tive light, as inter­ra­cial mar­riage his­tor­i­cal­ly had been ille­gal in many states of the Unit­ed States.

Tick­ets avail­able in advance online or at the door (cred­it card or dig­i­tal pay­ment only).
