“Folks, they’re good. This play is well done. We laughed hard, a lot. Superior acting, perfectly directed and a great trip down memory lane for a lot of us who came to see it. Get tickets to see this. You’ll truly love it as much as we did.” – Audience Member Opening Weekend

California Suite is Neil Simon’s humorous confection in four separate comedy playlets with one common thread. Four couples from different cities travel to California over the course of a year and stay in the same Beverly Hills Hotel suite, bringing their problems, anxieties and comic marital dilemmas with them. Simon is at his most humane and compassionate, and the banter flies fast and furious in this popular comedy. The New York Times said “Mr. Simon is writing at his ebullient best…[He] makes us laugh so effortlessly.”
