Synopsis:
Terri and Brian Cody are hoping to sell their “One Star Hotel” in the Florida Keys, to the only man who has expressed any interest in buying it, a Mr. Sam Lewis from New York. In order to bolster Mr. Lewis's interest, Terri and Brian devise a plan to make the hotel appear busier and more prosperous than it actually is. Their staff will masquerade as paying guests, thereby, giving Mr. Lewis the impression that the hotel is overflowing with loyal customers and vacationers. But their plan has one hitch, as their entire staff consists of a maintenance man named Hopkins and a sexy housemaid named Maureen.

MAUREEN - age 18+; the hotel maid, really doesn't have a brain in her head but is always bright and cheery; young, sexy, pretty, full of energy
SAM LEWIS - age 50 +; a New York business man, full of flash, bravado, and moral judgment; until the arrival of his wife renders him a fawning, hen-pecked husband
ASHLEY - age 30+; Sam Lewis' girlfriend; a real "looker," whose clothes keep disappearing throughout the play; glamorous and sexy, not cheap or tawdry, with a kind, affectionate nature
HAYLEY HARRINGTON - age 30+; also known as "The Barracuda" for her aggressive attitude towards men; glamorous, sensuous, voluptuous, sexy; a determined nymphomaniac

It is the policy of
St Albert Theatre Troupe that all auditions are open to the public. We need and
want any
interested people, newcomers and stage veterans alike, to
participate in the fun and excitement of live theatre. We publicize our

everybody who auditions will not be selected for a part.

are also always in need of assistance in other areas of theatre, including set
construction, set artwork, lighting, and backstage technical activities, so
people who are not selected for acting roles have other enjoyable activities
