Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) presents "Room Service" by John Murray and Allen Boretz as the final show in its 57th season, in weekend performances July 3 through August 2.
A brash but broke producer and his pals are holed up in a Times Square hotel room, rehearsing what they think will be a smash hit and cooking up schemes to get a backer. But they better work fast - 19 hungry actors keep ordering food and the bill for room service alone will close the show before it opens. This classic screwball comedy from the '30s flies along on snappy banter, throwaway lines, sight gags, and a fast-moving parade of characters.
John Gaspard directs a 14-member cast, with sets designed by Ursula Bowden, costumes by Carolann Winter, and lighting by Matt Olson.
Tickets are $20, with discounts for seniors and a student price of $10 on Fridays and Sundays. For information, call the theatre's box office at 612-333-3010 or visit its website at www.TheatreintheRound.org.
