Description
Heather Rapin and Betty Annand
5 men, 9 women, 7 either
60 minute comedy
When a fearless little old lady from Pasadena checks into a delightfully eerie hotel and suddenly vanishes, the staff scramble to keep both their guests and their business alive—no matter how strange things get. As a team of opinionated investigators (the COWS) clash with a pair of bickering sisters who can’t agree on what’s real, the lobby fills with big personalities, bold opinions, and nonstop surprises. Rumors swirl, music drifts through the halls, and something—or someone—refuses to check out, turning the hotel into a whirlwind of mystery and mischief. Packed with larger-than-life characters and moments that invite bold physical comedy or a marvelous radio show, this play is a joy for performers and audiences alike. Flexible staging, a lively ensemble, and plenty of scene-stealing roles make it ideal for groups of all sizes and experience levels. With heart, humor, and just the right touch of spooky fun, this crowd-pleasing comedy fills seats and leaves audiences grinning long after curtain call.
