- DescriptionUTA Department of Theatre Arts and Dance presents Room Service by John Murray and Allen Boretz.
Room Service is pure farce. Subversive theatrical producer Gordon Miller, neophyte playwright Leo Davis, and their company of 21 actors cannot meet the wealthy backer for their wonderful politically engaged play-with-a-message unless they remain at the Broadway hotel where they are all living . . . on vastly overextended credit. They cannot remain at the hotel unless they pay their bill. And they cannot pay their bill until they receive money from the backer. Mayhem ensues.
Led by UTA Theatre Arts and Dance faculty, Room Service is directed by Sebastian Trainor with scenic design by D.J. Badon, Lighting and Costume Design by Phillip Schroeder, and Sound Design by Bill Eickenloff.
Room Service is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. http://www.dramatists.com/ - Websitehttps://events.uta.edu/event/room-service
