====================
Show Synopsis:
It’s 1988 and Terri and Brian Cody are hoping to sell their “One Star Hotel” in the Florida Keys, to the only man who has expressed any interest in buying it, a Mr. Sam Lewis from New York. In order to bolster Mr. Lewis’s interest, Terri and Brian devise a plan to make the hotel appear busier and more prosperous than it actually is. Their staff (a maintenance man and a maid) will masquerade as paying guests, thereby giving Mr. Lewis the impression that the hotel is overflowing with loyal customers and vacationers. WHAT CAN GO WRONG? Unexpected guests arrive, rooms, clothing and luggage get mixed up, and people are not who they seem to be.
Casting Notes:
This slapstick farce is a riot of physical humor and a great opportunity for playing big, fun characters. It’s a true ensemble show, and all cast members will be featured. All of these characters are larger than life and can be played up for a fun, high-energy and very physical show (think 1980’s sitcoms). There are tons of opportunities to showcase your comedic timing, and exaggerated reactions. We are open to non-traditional and inclusive casting. Hotbed Hotel contains simulated nudity, sexual objectification, and simulated drinking and drunkenness.
The following characters may be required to engage in stage kissing:
-Brian & Terri Cody
-Sam Lewis & Ashley
-Hayley & Major
-Major & Ashley
Auditioning for all of these characters is confirmation from you that you are aware of and comfortable with these requirements. The role of Major Ponsenby and Abul El Hajj will be played by the same actor.
