*Those auditioning for the roles of Claudia and Athena will also be asked to sing as part of the audition, as these characters perform a duet at the end of the show.
It’s 1942 and two of Hollywood’s biggest female movie stars (divas to you and me) are booked into the Palm Beach Royale Hotel. They cannot stand each other and that really is too bad since they are both accidentally booked into the hotel’s only celebrity suite. The laughter grows at a breakneck pace as bell boys, personal secretaries, the general manager and even Mr. Boodles try to sort things out and prevent bloodshed. Think of those great comedies of the 30s and 40s.
(Some mild adult language)
Those auditioning will be asked to read selections from the script. Limited scripts are available for check-out from the theatre office Monday – Thursday from 9am to 1pm for a $10 refundable deposit. Please contact the office Monday through Thursday from 9am to 1pm at
