Point Park's Conservatory Theatre Company Presents ROOM SERVICE

Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company is proud to present Room Service by Allen Boretz and John Murray at the Pittsburgh Playhouse Jan. 22 through Jan. 31, 2010. A preview performance is open to the public on Thursday, Jan. 21; Rich Keitel directs.

In this classic screwball comedy, an unscrupulous Broadway producer tries to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with 19 hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction with an outlandish plan. Can their new play open on Broadway, or will they be evicted for their outrageous room service bill before the curtain has a chance to rise? This beloved, zany comedy about the lengths some people will go for their art is sure to have audiences laughing from beginning to end.

Room Service was originally produced and directed by George Abbott at the Cort Theatre in New York City on May 19, 1937. In addition to numerous revivals on- and off-Broadway, the play was also adapted into a film in 1938 starring the Marx Brothers and Lucille Ball.

Room Service opens Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010. Performances will be held Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range in price from $18 to $20 and can be purchased by calling the Pittsburgh Playhouse box office at 412-621-4445 or online at www.pittsburghplayhouse.com.
