Suite Surrender
Written by Michael McKeever
Directed by Trevin Cooper

Glamour, gossip, and guffaws
It is 1942, and two of Hollywood's biggest divas, Claudia McFadden and Athena Sinclair, have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel. The stars bring with them two assistants, two sets of luggage, two overblown egos, and one legendary feud. Everything seems to be in order for their benefit performance for the troops–until they are mistakenly assigned to the same suite. Can two bumbling bellhops, two steadfast secretaries, and a stuffy hotel manager keep these fierce rivals apart? Or will this benefit performance end in a delicious disaster? Check into the Palm Beach Royale Hotel and check out mistaken identities, double entendres, a nosy gossip columnist, disappearing roses, dramatic door slamming, and a pampered, pocket-sized pooch named Mr. Boodles. Settle into your Suite and Surrender to this hilarious love note to the classic farces of the '30s and '40s.

Content Advisory Notes (may contain spoilers) ▼
advisory scale 1 of 6 Adult Content: There is little adult content. There are literal and metaphoric hotel fires to be put out, drunken sailors, a reporter who is dripping wet, a flying dog, too many martinis to count, and one epic feud.

advisory scale 1 of 6 Sexual Content: There is little sexual content. There is lots of kissing, some seducing, and sexual gesturing/positions.

advisory scale 1 of 6 Language: There is little profanity used. Word Counts - Hell 17X, Damed 1X, Damn 1X, Bitch 1X, Son of bitch 1X, Whore 1X
