Nazareth Department of Theatre Arts Presents: Plaza Suite

The Department of Theatre Arts' production of Neil Simon's hilarious Plaza Suite opens this weekend! The show runs February 15, 16, 22, and 23 at 8 p.m., and February 17 and 24 at 2 p.m., in Studio A48 at the Arts Center.

One of Simon's best-loved plays, Plaza Suite tells the story of three couples successively occupying the same suite at New York's Plaza Hotel. A suburban couple takes the suite while their house is painted, and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before, and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, calls a childhood sweetheart -- now a suburban housewife -- for a little diversion. The last couple are parents arguing about the best way to get their daughter out of the suite and down to the ballroom, where her wedding guests await.

Tickets are available at the Arts Center Box Office; Nazareth, students, faculty, and staff receive one complimentary ticket when presenting their Nazareth ID.
