Nicolet College Theatre Presents Suite Surrender Nov. 13-16 and 21-22

Suite Surrender, a glamorous 1940s-style comedy, will debut on the Nicolet College Theatre stage on Thursday, Nov. 13 and continue through Sunday, Nov. 22. 

About the Play

It is 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas, Claudia McFadden and Athena Sinclair, have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel. The stars bring with them two assistants, two sets of luggage, two overblown egos, and one legendary feud. Everything seems to be in order for their benefit performance for the troops— until they are mistakenly assigned to the same suite. Can bumbling bellhops, steadfast secretaries, and a stuffy hotel manager keep these fierce rivals apart? Or will this benefit performance end in a delicious disaster? 

Check into the Palm Beach Royale Hotel and check out mistaken identities, double entendres, a nosy gossip columnist, disappearing roses, dramatic door slamming, and a pampered, pocketsized pooch named Mr. Boodles. Settle into this suite and surrender to this hilarious love note to the classic farces of the ’30s and ’40s.
