Off-Broadway's Room Services Adds 3 Holiday Matinees

The Off-Broadway hit comedy Room Service will play a special holiday performance schedule with three additional matinees: Wednesday, December 27th (3PM), Sunday, December 31st (3PM) and Wednesday, January 3 rd (3PM) at the SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street ~ between 6th Avenue and Varick).

"Presented by the award-winning Peccadillo Theater Company along with Jonathan Reinis Productions, Jeffrey Sine and The StoryLine Project, Room Service is considered by many the funniest American play of the 1930's," press notes state.

"A classic screw-ball comedy, Room Service centers around the efforts of an unscrupulous producer to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in a Times Square hotel with nineteen hungry actors and a ballooning room service bill, he tries to forestall eviction by convincing the show's gullible young playwright to fake his own death. Meanwhile, an emissary from one of the country's wealthiest businessmen turns up with money to invest in the show; that is, until he discovers the hotel doctor bound and gagged in the bathroom. The situation goes from bad to worse as the much-abused hotel manager threatens to have the entire show confiscated by the sheriff on opening night!"

Cast as the wily producer is David Edwards, fresh from the national tour of The Producers. Fred Berman, Dale Carman, Sterling Coyne, Scott Evans, Blythe Gruda, Robert O'Gorman and Kim Rachelle Harris are also featured in the company. Scenic design is by Chris Jones, costume design by Gail Cooper-Hecht and lighting design by Jeffrey E. Salzberg.

The Peccadillo Theater Company has been producing the "forgotten classics" of American theater since 1994.
