The story

A similarly named cruise ship, hotel, and bed & breakfast play host to a series of mix-ups and catastrophic events in Bermuda, involving a high school science field trip (in search of a rare medicinal plant), a marching band (performing in a competition that may not exist), a religious retreat (that’s actually a doomsday cult), and a category 5 hurricane (which formed in the Bermuda Triangle)! At the center of it all is Shea, the young owner of a struggling inn, who must keep all the unfolding mayhem out of view from her VIP guest: a visiting B&B influencer, whose “Platinum Pillow” rating is crucial for Shea to stay in business.

Producing it

Cast15 actors, and the ensemble can grow as large as you like. As written, 16 female and 7 male roles. You can change lines, roles and genders to fit your students.

SetThree-part upstage unit (B&B, hotel lobby, pier) plus downstage spots.

TechAn ambitious build: a three-part set, a boat that sails off, half a car, an elevator, storm effects, a strobe moment (post a warning), and many props. Fake body-part props and a prop axe.

For your scene-stealersA big farce ensemble with a phone-juggling comic role, a showcase elevator scene, accent roles, and room to expand the cast, even with a live marching band.
