ABOUT THE SHOW

GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE OF SOUTHBRIDGE presents Neil Simon's "PLAZA SUITE" - the first show of their 50th Anniversary Season.

Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at "THE PLAZA."

A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? 

This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. 

He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. 

Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. 

The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!"

ABOUT GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE OF SOUTHBRIDGE

GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. is an all-volunteer community theater providing quality live theatre performances and workshops to Southbridge, Sturbridge, and Charlton, Massachusetts and surrounding areas. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE, INC. started in 1975, when a group of interested community members decided that Southbridge needed a theater group to bring live productions to the area. First using local schools and borrowed rehearsal and storage space, GATEWAY then moved into its current home in 1978, when Ruth Wells (of the American Optical Company Wells family) donated her home on Main Street as a cultural center in Southbridge. GATEWAY PLAYERS THEATRE offers a full season of productions, usually performed at Elm Street Congregational Church, 61 Elm Street, Southbridge, MA. as well as workshops for youths and adults. Auditions are open to all, and new members are always welcome.
