ANNA MARIA ISLAND — Birthday Suite, a comedy in two acts, recently opened at the Island Players playhouse in Anna Maria, FL. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2 PM.
Four guests check into adjoining hotel suites with an unlocked door, and a series of mishaps ensue. Geoff Tippet has arranged a special birthday treat for his old friend, Bob. The treat is a hotel room for the night, a double bed, a champagne dinner, and an attractive young lady.
The problem is that Kate is next door anxiously awaiting her computer agency date, Dick, but Dick has been shown to the wrong room. Add in Bob's wife, Liz, who believes she is dining with Geoff, and Tony, the over-enthusiastic Italian room waiter who has to serve both rooms, and you have the recipe for a hilarious evening of chaotic confusion.
TBT Publisher Joe McClash attended the performance last Friday night and found the play to be one of the funniest in recent memory.
"One of the best parts of the Anna Maria Players is the seating," said McClash. "Every seat is a great seat, and the stage is within a few feet of the audience. Anna Maria Island needs our help after hardships from the two recent hurricanes to get back up and running. Going to this quaint theater is a great way to help our community, and the best part is that this play will have you laughing. Before the play, enjoy a dinner at one of the restaurants a block away. We ate at Mademoiselle Paris before the play and enjoyed it. Other restaurants, such as Harry's and the Porch, all are fine dining experiences. Congratulations to the cast and the many people that provide such a great venue."
