"The Man Who Came To Dinner" has been giving its viewers stomachaches from laughing too hard since 1939, and Langley's excellent interpretation kept up the tradition, Meg Hunter of The New School of Northern Virginia said in her review of the play last October.

Hunter wrote that Langley's students succeeded in keeping the audience on the edge of their seats and swept up in the story at the most hilarious moments of the play and the most heart-wrenching ones.

Winners of the Cappies awards will be announced at the Cappies Gala on June 12 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in DC.
