Beatrice’s Boarding House is in the fair-to-middlin’ town of Goodale. Beatrice, the young, beautiful (but somewhat longwinded) owner is in distress. If business doesn’t pick up soon, the honorable establishment will have to close its doors forever. If our poor heroine loses her abode, she and her closest friends will find themselves on the town’s streets. Luther Swett, the cad, not only wants the boarding house, but has his eyes on the beautiful Beatrice. Can the ugliest hero in the history of melodrama save the day? And will the changing of the boarding house to a hilarious ’Broadway and Brunch’ solve all problems? Throw in a mild-mannered mortician and a cranky boarder who needs a hearing aid and you have a light snow! (Or did we say a nice show?!) The intriguing opportunity for ’Broadway’ entertainment in the play is perfect for any group looking for a short melodrama offering flexibility in cast size and running time.
