“Set the town laughing.” The New York Times

Hilarity abounds at the Old Theater on May 3, 4 & 5 in this portrait of three couples successively occupying Suite 719 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

In Visitor From Mamaroneck, a not-so-blissfully married couple takes the suite while their house is being painted. It turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 years ago … or was it 24?

This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by Visitor from Hollywood, about a movie producer who calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little “diversion.” Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for!

The third act, Visitor from Forest Hills, revolves around a married couple on their daughter’s wedding day. In a rush of nervousness, “Mimsey” has locked herself in the suite’s bathroom and refuses to come out. This is the most comic of the acts, filled with increasingly outrageous slapstick moments depicting her parents’ frantic attempts to cajole her into attending her wedding while the gathered guests await the trio’s arrival downstairs!
