EMPORIA– Drew Keller of Ellis, Kansas, is part of the cast and crew presenting “Suite Surrender” by Michael McKeever.

It is 1942 and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel – with entourages, luggage and legendary feud in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance … that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this love note to the classic farces of the ’30s and ’40s.

Keller, a freshman theatre major, plays Otis and the bellhop.

The show is under the direction of Bob Hart. Chris Lohkamp is the set designer and technical director. Amanda Dura is the costume designer.

“Suite Surrender” runs July 11-14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre in King Hall at Emporia State University.

Tickets cost $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students. For tickets, visit the Memorial Union Ticket Office or call 620-341-6378. Tickets are also available online at tickets.emporia.edu or by calling 620-341-6378.
