One hotel suite. Countless misunderstandings. Relentless laughs.

Seattle Suite is a laugh-driven, fully improvised play inspired by the style of Plaza Suite and California Suite, capturing the signature humor of Neil Simon that is fast, verbal, and rooted in beautifully human flaws. Each night, a single Seattle hotel room becomes the setting for interconnected scenes inspired by your suggestions, friends overshare and spiral, romantic gestures go wrong, awkward silences stretch, and small problems become big ones. The comedy comes from character and relationship, building through sharp dialogue, escalating tension, and recognizable, lived-in situations. Perfect for fans of smart comedy, relationship humor, and classic theatrical wit.
