OCTA Presents "Suite Surrender" by Michael McKeever 10/31/2025 7:30 PM - 11/16/2025 4:00 PM

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 10:43:35 GMT

Kansas City premiere of this hilarious 90-minute farce

It's 1942, and two of Hollywood's biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel -- assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance...that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.

Cast List:
Claudia - Ellen DeShon
Athena - Jeannie Blau
Mr Dunlap - Michael Juncker
Mrs Osgood - Shelly Stewart Banks
Mr Pippet - Craig Aikman
Murphy - Katie Schieferecke
Francis - Brent Custer
Dora - Jo Bledsoe Collins
Otis - Doug Ford
