University Theatre to present Neil Simon comedy ‘Plaza Suite’
Western Carolina University will present “Plaza Suite,” a comedy by Neil Simon, to begin the University Theatre’s 2008-09 Mainstage season.
“Plaza Suite” performances are 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, Sept. 17-20, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, in Hoey Auditorium.
“Plaza Suite,” a comedy by Neil Simon, will be performed Sept. 17 through 21 in Western Carolina University’s Hoey Auditorium.
This comedic portrait follows three couples successively occupying Suite 719 of New York City’s Plaza hotel, beginning with a suburban couple who honeymooned in the same location years earlier. Then, a randy Hollywood producer invites up an old flame with different ideas. Finally, an increasingly desperate mother and father try to cajole their daughter, a reluctant bride, from the bathroom. D.V. Simonian Caitlyn of WCU’s stage and screen department will direct.
The play stars senior Alexandra Labelle and junior Ben Chafetz as Karen and Sam Nash of Act I; senior Kaley McCormack and sophomore Jay Raines as Muriel Tate and Jesse Kiplinger of Act II; and juniors Kate Gardner and Tim Stoeckel as Norma and Roy Hubley of Act III.
Ticket prices are $20 for the general public; $15 for Western faculty and staff; $15 for those 60 years and older; and $5 for students. Group rates are available, as are Mainstage season subscriptions. For tickets, call the box office at 227-2479 or visit online at www.ticketreturn.com.
