New Century Players Community Theatre presents "Suite Surrender" by Michael McKeever. 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. Directed by Kraig Williams. [less-]

Iconic international celebrity air-hostess Pam Ann has evolved since first jetting out of her hometown of Melbourne 20 years ago. Pam — the alter-ego of Australian comedian-writer-producer Caroline Reid — has developed a cult-like status both here and overseas with her masterful portrayal of an International hostie. Pam’s barbed wit has seen her fly many a risky route and negotiate even the most politically incorrect flight path with her blisteringly funny take on the world of airlines and aircrew. Nothing is out of reach of her pristine white gloves, strutting up the aisle with a trolley full of beautifully unpredictable, acerbic airline satire. There’s not much Pam hasn’t seen or done — from crewing Elton John’s private jet at his express request, sharing a stadium stage on a tour of the UK with Cher, and counting Madonna in her legion of devoted fans worldwide. Her caustic wit knows no bounds, so fasten your seat belts and prepare to take off. The Queen of the Sky guarantees a turbulent flight. [less-]

The Light Opera of Portland presents Gilbert & Sullivan's "Princess Ida or, Castle Adamant." "Princess Ida; or, Castle Adamant" is a comic opera with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It was their eighth operatic collaboration of 14. "Princess Ida" opened at the Savoy Theatre on 5 January 1884, for a run of 246 performances. The piece concerns a princess who founds a women’s university and teaches that women are superior to men and should rule in their stead. The prince to whom she had been married in infancy sneaks into the university, together with two friends, with the aim of collecting his bride. They disguise themselves as women students, but are discovered, and all soon face a literal war between the sexes. [less-]

In 1539 the Knight Templars of Malta, paid tribute to Charles V of Spain by sending him a golden falcon encrusted from beak to claw with rarest jewels, but pirates seized the galley carrying this priceless token and the fate of the Maltese Falcon remains a mystery. With multiple parties on the hunt for this rarest of treasures, private investigator Sam Spade is caught between thieves, thugs, and temptation as he slowly untangles the mystery of this rare bird and all those who want it for themselves. In 1943, The Lux Radio Theater presented their version of the Dashiell Hammett classic, starring Edward G. Robinson as Sam Spade. 76 years later, Fake Radio is thrilled to re-create that entire 1943 CBS radio broadcast — commercials and all! — with our special guest star Lynne Stewart, best known from her recurring roles on "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Peewee’s Playhouse". For almost 20 years, our shows have been transporting audiences back in time to a live taping of an old-time-radio show, expertly blending the original broadcast scripts — including the absurd commercials! — with unexpected improvisation. Previous Fake Radio guest stars include: Emmy Award winners John Larroquette, Ray Romano and Marcia Wallace; comedy legends Fred Willard, The Kids in the Hall, and Phil Proctor from The Firesign Theatre; well-established TV actors such as Jeff Garlin, Jamie Farr, Mindy Sterling, Lynne Stewart, John Lynch, Debra Skelton and Dean Cain; noted alternative comedians Tom Kenny, Maria Bamford and Rick Overton; and even one of the original cast members from "Saturday Night Live": Laraine Newman.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND and just in time for the Halloween season, "Sanguine Academy" is a hilarious original musical where "Harry Potter" meets "True Blood" meets "The Breakfast Club." With a live band and an original score of rock music it's sure to be one FANGtastic ride! For 100s of years, Sanguine Academy has existed to help train and educate vampires in all stages of their undead lives. It is a place where vampires from all over the world come to learn transmogrification, blood alchemy, vampire history, and even how to get out nasty blood stains. The academy has only admitted vampires ... until now. When the dean announces integrating werewolves into the student body, the age old rivalry between the two supernatural races comes to a head and the new werewolf students begin to mysteriously disappear. In the midst of all this enter Ellie, a shallow party girl vamp and her crew of miscreant buddies called "The Midnight Snack Club." Ellie's carefree life comes to a screeching to a halt when on a night of debauchery she accidentally turns an inept but well meaning nerd named Miles into a vampire. It then becomes Ellie's responsibility to keep Miles from figuratively sucking so he won't flunk out of Sanguine, all the while trying to solve the mystery of the missing werewolves! "Sanguine Academy" is a spooky and campy delight, teaming with groan-inducing puns, meta jokes, and all your favorite vampire and werewolf tropes. [less-]
