About This Show
Teaneck New Theatre, in association with The Hackensack Cultural Arts Center, presents Plaza Suite by Neil Simon, America’s most prolific playwright and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. Maywood resident Neil Kahn directs and Teaneck’s Orin Shemin is production supervisor.
Three successive couples staying in the same suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel face precarious (and hilarious) predicaments.
Couple number one, Karen and Sam Nash, are in the suite they occupied during their honeymoon. Twenty-odd anniversaries later they’ve drifted apart. Is Sam having an affair? Do they even want to save their marriage?
Couple number two, Jesse Kiplinger and Muriel Tate, face a very different state of affairs. Jesse, a much-married movie producer at loose ends, decides that having a fling with his childhood sweetheart (now a suburban housewife) is just the ticket. Will this Hollywood rogue have his way? Is Muriel still attracted to him?
Couple number three, Norma and Roy Hubley, confront a more complicated conundrum. Their daughter, about to be married in the hotel, has locked herself in the bathroom and won’t be wed. Can frantic Norma and volatile Roy change her mind? Can anyone?
For the Plaza Suite characters, these daunting difficulties provoke panic. For Plaza Suite audiences, these diverting dilemmas provide non-stop laughter.
The cast includes Marilyn Schilkie, Ed Gross, Christopher Sienkiewicz, Jill Haas, Barbara Liebgott, Neil Kahn, Leigh Adel-Arnold, Cedric Brown, and Oriana Barros.
