Tropical Heat is an outrageous, over-the-top comedy where passionate fury succumbs to furious passion. Set in a 1920s tropical hotel, Tropical Heat pits a proselytizing pastor against a passionate party girl with a past. When a fire-and-brimstone minister clashes with a tropical temptress, he doesn't have a prayer! Other characters include the acerbic hotel owner, a bum, and a tormented young painter who hasn't painted anything yet because he's still learning how to be tormented.
Showtimes: 8:30 p.m. Saturday July 12, 5 p.m. Sunday July 13, 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday July 17 - 18 and 6 p.m. Saturday July 19
Skin Deep is a light comedy with depth, a sex comedy with more than sex on its mind. When a couple from Ohio inherits a clothing-optional resort in Key West, they discover parts of themselves never before exposed! The staff includes a gay front desk clerk who's an aspiring drag queen and a lesbian handyman who moonlights as a dominatrix. And then there's the potential buyer of the hotel, a businessman who likes giving women the business. Overwhelmed by the lifestyles of the resort's staff and guests, the couple is forced to face questions of what they believe and who they really are.
