Auditions for Suite Surrender


VACT is excited to announce auditions for its winter play:
Suite Surrender

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.

This show will be performed in the VACT Theater at 103 Lincoln Street, February 13-22, 2025. The full performance schedule can be found HERE.

Suite Surrender features a cast of nine adults and runs approximately 90 minutes, plus an intermission. See character descriptions HERE.
