Open Fist Theatre presents Classic Depression-Era Comedy Room Service

The Open Fist Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the first production of its 2011 Season. In the tradition of the recent, depression-era, smash-hit productions of LIGHT UP THE SKY and STAGE DOOR, Open Fist presents ROOM SERVICE, written by John Murray and Allen Boretz and directed by Bjorn Johnson and Ron Orbach. ROOM SERVICE will preview on Friday, January 14; Saturday, January 15 at 8pm; and Thursday, January 20 at 8pm and will open on Friday, January 21 at 8pm and run through Saturday, March 12 at the Open Fist Theatre, 6209 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood.

In the classic comedy ROOM SERVICE, Gordon Miller a theatrical director, and his ragtag bunch of actors have run up a huge bill at the hotel run by his brother-in-law. With the hotel auditor on the way and no means to pay, the troupe plans to make a run for it...until a mysterious financial backer is discovered. The only problem is, the Company needs to stay put for a few more days until the deal can be finalized! They decide to have the naive, country playwright fake a serious illness so he cannot be evicted. As events unfold, high anxiety and hilarity ensue...
