Eclipse Theatre Company Honors Neil Simon with Plaza Suite

Eclipse Theatre Company's two-year celebration of the first ten playwrights featured by the company - The Celebration Series - continues by honoring the life and work of 2003 featured playwright Neil Simon with "Plaza Suite." One of Simon's most popular and celebrated plays, "Plaza Suite" details the misadventures of three very different couples as they face crucial moments in their respective lives, all in the same hotel room in the world famous Plaza Hotel. "Plaza Suite" showcases Simon at his best - witty, clever and relentlessly funny. The show runs approximately two hours.  Post-show discussions with the cast will be held following the Sunday matinees on July 27, August 3, August 10 and August 17, 2008 (free with paid ticket).

Eclipse will also present a Playwright Scholar Series Event, "A Suite of Simon's Suites," readings from Simon's other two "Suite" plays, "California Suite" and "London Suite," on Saturday, August 9, 2008, 2 p.m., at the Victory Gardens Greenhouse Theater. Call 312-738-0704 for reservations - suggested $5 donation, which will include a post-show discussion with the artistic team.
