Nicolet College to present ‘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.

The play, set in 1942, follows two of Hollywood’s biggest divas, Claudia McFadden and Athena Sinclair, as they descend 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, pocket-sized pooch named Mr. Boodles. Settle into this suite and surrender to this hilarious love note to the classic farces of the ’30s and ’40s.
