What happens when two people are booked into the same Hotel suite?
Michael McKeever’s farce takes a trip back to the 1940’s era finds two of Hollywood’s biggest divas scheduled to perform for a USO benefit at the Palm Beach Royale Hotel. Although they have been engaged in a legendary ongoing feud they have been booked in the same Presidential Suite.
Palm Beach Royale General Manager Bernard Dunlap’s role played by Boyd Stearns of Rice Lake is to keep Claudia McFadden played by Connie Olson of Chetek, and Athena Sinclair played by Donna M.Gagner of Rice Lake from realizing they have separate bedrooms in the same suite.
Cast members in roles of the not so savvy staff, personal secretary’s, a matron eager to associate with celebrities, and a gossip columnist trying to get the “scoop” are Amy Lundgren of Amery, Benjamin Heer of Rice Lake, Jaime Helgeson of Cumberland, Teresa Olejiniczak of Chetek, Jackson Liedl of Rice Lake, and Billy Bandli of Eau Claire
