Theater UnCorked invites you to audition! California Suite By Neil Simon Directed by David Miller BCA Plaza Black Box Theatre, Boston About the Play: California Suite is a comedy composed of four playlets set in the same hotel suite in The Beverly Hills Hotel. In "Visitors from New York", Hannah Warren is a Manhattan workaholic who flies to Los Angeles to retrieve her teenage daughter Jenny from her successful screenwriter father, William. Conservative, middle-aged businessman Marvin Michaels in the "Visitors from Philadelphia", awakens to discover a prostitute named Bunny unconscious in his bed after consuming a bottle of Vodka. With his wife Millie on her way up to the suite, he must find a way to conceal all traces of his uncharacteristic indiscretion. The "Visitors from Chicago" are two affluent couples who are best friends. Stu Franklyn and his wife Gert and Mort Hollender and his wife Beth are taking a much-needed vacation together. Things begin to unravel quickly when Beth is hurt during a tennis match, and Mort accuses Stu of causing her injury. The "Visitors from London" are British actress Diana Nichols, a first-time nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and her husband Sidney, a once-closeted antique dealer who increasingly has become indiscreet about his sexual orientation. The Oscar is an honor that could revive her faltering career, but she is in deep denial about the true nature of her marriage of convenience, and as she prepares for her moment in the spotlight, her mood fluctuates from hope to panic to despair. *Roles Already Cast: (Visitors from Philadelphia): Millie Michaels & (Visitors from London): Diana Nichols
