This Spring, it’s your chance to Take Time Out. Way Out, that is. Inside-Out. Out-There Out. Time to leave Time…and Reality…completely behind. And enter another dimension in space and time. A delightfully demented dimension. As six absurd and hilarious short plays come together on the same bill. It’s the David Ives Festival.

SUITE SURRENDER
Presented by The Drama Workshop
May 2-18
Cheviot

Directed by Fred Hunt
Produced by Ray Persing

Cast: Gretchen Gantner as Mrs. Osgood, Dennis Murphy as Mr. Dunlap, Julia Hedges as Murphy, Stefanie Adams as Athena Sinclair, Dan Maloney as Francis, Lynn Minges as Claudia McFadden, Chuck Beatty as Mr. Pippet, Robin Rubeo as Dora Del Rio, & Joe Wagner as Otis

It’s 1942 and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel’s assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance—that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 1930s and 40s.
