NOTE: Every attempt will be made to accommodate preferred seating requests; however, in some cases, adjustments may be required to optimize table capacity and avoid unclaimed seats between groups. During the pre-sale period, passholder groups wishing to be seated together must request seats at the same time — otherwise adjacent seats may be claimed by other passholders. Tickets found to be purchased during the pre-sale period but without a season pass may be voided to ensure equitable priority seating access to patrons with season passes.

“Enough laugh lines, mirth provoking situations and extravagant sight gags to outfit two rapid fire farces of the absurd.”
– Variety
Pack your bags for a stay at the Howard Johnson Motor Inn — where the beds are lumpy, the tempers are hot, and murder is always suspiciously close at hand. In this razor sharp comedy of errors, a messy love triangle erupts into three increasingly outrageous attempts at homicide, each more ridiculous than the last.
Arlene wants passion. Mitchell wants Arlene. And Paul? He just wants to make it out alive. As schemes unravel and alliances shift, no one can quite manage the perfect crime — but everyone is determined to try.
What follows is a riotous night of betrayal, backstabbing, and killer laughs. With extravagant sight gags, rapid fire dialogue, and absurd twists at every turn, this madcap farce keeps the chaos coming. It’s a big, bold, physical comedy — the kind of gleeful mayhem that plays beautifully in a room full of people ready to laugh together.
